SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
Under the Organic Act of 1916 (54
U.S.C. 100701), the NPS is charged with
conserving the scenery, natural and
historic objects, and wildlife in its units.
The acoustical environment or
soundscape is a fundamental aspect of

E:\FR\FM\15SEN1.SGM

15SEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 179 / Thursday, September 15, 2016 / Notices
NPS units and critical to visitors’
interaction with and interpretation of
said resources. While the NPS has
policies in place to monitor and manage
acoustical conditions, it does not have
information on how visitors value
preserving natural sounds and/or
reducing noise impacts. NPS plans to
conduct a stated-preference survey of
visitors in two park units in order to
estimate individual values for
maintenance or improvement of
acoustical conditions within a national
park setting.
The purpose of this IC is to continue
survey development and pre-testing
activities that were initiated in 2013.
This continuation will involve a series
of focus groups in two NPS units. The
intent of the focus groups is to refine
and test existing survey materials.
Specifically, previous pre-testing efforts
indicated that further refinement and
testing of stated–preference questions
was necessary. Best practice guidelines
in the conduct of stated-preference
studies require that survey content,
language and instructions be clearly
understood by respondents so that the
results are as accurate and reliable as
possible.
