Abstract: This information collection request seeks to reinstate a previously discontinued collection. The Comprehensive Survey of the American Public (CSAP) is the only national information collection by the National Park Service (NPS) that describes visitors and non-visitors to units of the National Park System. Information on non-visitors, including their demographic characteristics and reasons for their non-visitation, is especially important in designing programs to reach underserved populations more effectively. The CSAP is a household telephone survey that is administered every 5 years, a period determined to be long enough to identify important trends in key measures and to survey visitors and non-visitors perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge related to the programs, services, and recreational opportunities offered by the NPS. Based on the strong mandate for social science research in support of park planning and management in the NPS Management Policies 2006 (Section 8.11.1, “Social Science Studies”), this information collection will continue to provide high-quality data required to enhance the development of programs and resources within the NPS.

Short Statement: This reinstatement of a previously approved collection will result in a combined net increase of 2,135 completed responses and 550 burden hours. The adjustment includes: • net decrease of 11 hours and 165 responses associated with removing the Youth Engagement survey conducted as part of CSAP3. • net increase of 408 hours for the household survey due to an increase in survey completion time from 18 minutes to 25 minutes per complete response. This increase results in an additional 408 hours. • a net increase of non-respondents (n=2,300) causing an increase of 153 additional burden hours.
