Abstract: The National Park Service is requesting an extension of "Programmatic Review and Clearance Process for NPS-Sponsored Public Surveys". This request for an extension is for the purposes of revising the current Pool of Known questions that serves as the primary function of this process. We are planning to host a series of workshops of social science researches to update the original list of questions and topics that are more than 20 years old because many questions in the current listing are underutilized. This extension will allow for the effective outreach prescribed in item 8 of Supporting Statement Part A.
