AGENCY:
ACTION:

We (National Park Service)

Geological Survey’s Grand Canyon
Monitoring and Research Center and
used to provide information concerning
the direct recreational uses along the
Colorado River—specifically the stretch
between the Glen Canyon Dam and
Lee’s Ferry. To comply with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
as a part of our continuing efforts to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, we invite the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
this ICR.
DATES: To ensure that your comments
on this ICR are considered, OMB must
receive them on or before March 19,
2015.

I. Abstract
We wish to conduct this study to
understand the social and economic
impacts of water levels on recreation
uses of the Colorado River, specifically
the areas from Glen Canyon Dam to the
head of Lake Mead. We are requesting
approval to administer two versions of
the key valuation questions (CV and
conjoint). The rationale for
administering two surveys containing
CV and conjoint questions is because
the survey design recognizes that the
state of the art methods used in nonmarket valuation have substantially

advanced since these user groups were
surveyed on these issues more than 25
years ago. A survey will be mailed to a
sample of whitewater floaters and
anglers to collect information
concerning (1) trip/visit characteristics,
(2) activities and (3) opinions on river
management. This information
collection will be used to provide
empirical data that will help NPS
managers and planners understand the
impacts of direct recreational uses along
the Colorado River.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: 1024–DREC.
Title: A Survey of Direct Recreational
Uses Along The Colorado River.

III. Request for Comments
On August 26, 2014, we published a
Federal Register notice (79 FR 50940)
announcing that we would submit this
ICR to OMB for approval. Public
comments were solicited for 60 days
ending October 27, 2014. We received
one comment in response to that notice.
The commenter suggested that this
study is unnecessary because the SocioEconomic Ad Hoc Group (SEAHG) is in
the process of developing a study to
address the informational needs related
to the Glen Canyon Dam operations and
the Colorado River in the Grand
Canyon. We contend that this study
does not cause a conflict because the
survey does not duplicate any ongoing
or parallel effort but rather is intended
to provide information that will be used
to update a more than 25 year old study
of the same resources.
We again 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.
