We (National Park Service) will ask the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve the Information Collection (IC) described below. The National Park Service is exploring ways to reduce the risk of damage to structures and natural systems from destructive storm surge and sea level rise. We will collect information from stakeholders' about their values and perceptions of climate change- related vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies for managing cultural resources within the two historic districts (Portsmouth Village and Lookout Village) at Cape Lookout National Seashore (CALO). Stakeholders will be visitors at Portsmouth Village and Lookout Village, partner organizations, local community members with ties to the historic districts, federal, state and private cultural resource experts. This collection will be used to inform cultural resource adaptation planning efforts (i.e., maintenance, sustainability and post-storm recovery of historic structures and cemeteries) related to impacts of extreme weather events. To comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and as part of our continuing efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, we invite the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on this IC.

Assessment

SUMMARY: We (National Park Service) will ask the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) to approve the Information Collection (IC) described 
below. The National Park Service is exploring ways to reduce the risk 
of damage to structures and natural systems from destructive storm 
surge and sea level rise. We will collect information from 
stakeholders' about their values and perceptions of climate change-
related vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies for managing cultural 
resources within the two historic districts (Portsmouth Village and 
Lookout Village) at Cape Lookout National Seashore (CALO). Stakeholders 
will be visitors at Portsmouth Village and Lookout Village, partner 
organizations, local community members with ties to the historic 
districts, federal, state and private cultural resource experts. This 
collection will be used to inform cultural resource adaptation planning 
efforts (i.e., maintenance, sustainability and post-storm recovery of 
historic structures and cemeteries) related to impacts of extreme 
weather events. To comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and 
as part of our continuing efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burden, we invite the general public and other Federal agencies to take 
this opportunity to comment on this IC.

DATES: To ensure that your comments on this IC are considered, we must 
receive them on or before July 20, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Please send your comments to Phadrea Ponds, Information 
Collections Coordinator, National Park Service, 1201 Oakridge Drive,

I. Abstract

    Managers of Cape Lookout National Seashore (CALO) are interested in 
identifying ways to reduce the risk of damage to coastal buildings and 
sensitive species from storm surge, sea level rise, and shoreline 
erosion anticipated over the next 20 to 30 years. Of specific interest 
to managers are contemporary cultural resource values and perceptions 
of cultural resource vulnerability and feasible adaptation strategies 
to sustain its cultural resources for future generations. The National 
Park Service (NPS) will conduct a survey of visitors to the two 
historic districts (Portsmouth Village and Lookout Village) at Cape 
Lookout National Seashore (CALO), a survey with members of CALO's 
partner organizations, interview local community members with 
connections to the historic districts, and conduct a survey with 
cultural resource experts from federal and state agencies and 
nongovernmental organizations.
    The collection will be used to understand the values stakeholders 
place on cultural resources within the historic districts, and 
perceptions of strategies to adapt and respond to changes in cultural 
resource conditions from storms, flooding, and erosion. The information 
from this collection will provide NPS managers and planners with 
information that can be used to prepare resource management planning 
documents.
    Lessons learned from this study may be applied to support cultural 
resource adaptation planning for units across the NPS system.
