The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting approval to conduct a pilot and full field study concerning the total economic value of National Park System resources along the Colorado River Corridor (which includes the Glen Canyon Dam and Grand Canyon National Park).We will mail a total of 200 surveys (100 national surveys and 100 regional surveys) to a random sample of adults (18 years and older) in households within the national and regional sampling areas. The information from this effort will be used to conduct preliminary analysis on the data to determine if the attribute levels will be adjusted up or down to create greater differences between the plans in the final survey. We expect that 35% (n=70) of those who receive the survey will return the completed survey.
