Abstract: this request is to reinstate OMB Control Number 1024-0254 that was discontinue in 2010 upon the completion of the previous iteration. The content of this current submission is sufficiently different enough to necessitate a request approval to pretest questions and survey length before requesting approval for the final survey. This request serves the following purposes: 1) to conduct no more than 30 cognitive telephone interviews to validate new questions that were not used in the CSAP1 and 2 surveys; 2) pretest the full version of the survey using more than 90 scripted telephone interviews to estimate respondent burden and inform any modifications to the questions and methodology such that the final survey can be administered in about 18 minutes. At the conclusion of the pretest, the NPS will submit a revised version of this ICR that will include the final version of the survey and explanations of the statistical methods that will be used to collected and analyze the data. This subsequent request will include updated supporting statements (Parts A and B) and the final version of the survey instrument that will be used to conduct the National Park Service Centennial National Household Survey.

Short Statement: This is a reinstatement of a previously approved collection that was used to conduct at national survey. At that time the burden for the pre-test and the final survey were combined into one request. After consulting with DOI and OIRA Desk Officer, NPS determined that the best approach would be to decouple the pretest from the final survey in this current request. The findings from the pre-test will be verified in the follow-up request for the full survey. The adjustment in the annual time burden is due to the removal of 1,027 previously approved burden hours associated with the collection that expired 9/30/2010 and instruments are no longer relevant (e.g., contact script, focus group sessions, and the previously approved 2007 Comprehensive Survey). The addition of the newly requested burden hours (n=54) are needed to pretest the questions for the final version of the survey the updated. This request results in a net difference of 1,073 hours.
