SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
prohibits activities with endangered and
threatened species unless a Federal
permit allows such activity. Along with
our implementing regulations in the

CFR part 17, the Act provides for
permits and requires that we invite
public comment before issuing these
permits.
A permit granted by us under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes the
permittees to conduct activities with
U.S. endangered or threatened species
for scientific purposes, enhancement of
propagation or survival, or interstate
commerce (the latter only in the event
that it facilitates scientific purposes or
enhancement of propagation or
survival). Our regulations implementing
section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are
found at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for
threatened wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.62 for endangered plant species, and
50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.

I. Abstract
The Clean Air Act (Sections 169A,
169B, and 110(a)(2)(j) charges the NPS
with an ‘‘affirmative responsibility to
protect air quality related values
(including visibility).’’ The NPS believes
that the value of visibility changes
should be represented in cost-benefit
analyses performed regarding state and
federal efforts that may affect visibility
(including the Regional Haze Rule, 40
CFR Part 51). Updated estimates of
visibility benefits are required because
the studies conducted in the 1970s and
1980s do not reflect current baseline
visibility conditions in national parks
and wilderness areas.
The NPS plans to conduct a
nationwide stated preference survey to
estimate the value of visibility changes
in national parks and wilderness areas.
Survey development and pre-testing
have already been conducted under a
previous IC (OMB Control Number
1024–0255). The purpose of this IC is to
conduct the full, national survey.
II. Data
OMB Number: 1024–0255.
Title: Visibility Valuation Survey.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of
OMB Control Number 1024–0225 for
which the pilot study has been
completed.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Respondent Obligation: Voluntary.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,400 respondents.
Estimated Time and frequency of
Response: This is a one-time survey

respondent to complete.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,667 hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have not identified any
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection of information.
III. Request for Comments
We invite comments concerning this
information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this IC. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and

reinforcing bar, provided for in
subheadings 7213.10, 7214.20, and
7228.30 of the Harmonized Tariff

Secretary will prepare a public service
list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives,
who are parties to the investigations.
