[[Page 78630]]

I. Abstract

    The information gathered in this collection will be used to assess 
the efficacy of current and hypothetical park climate change messaging 
in cultivating both a sense of concern and inspiration to act among 
visitors. The information will be used primarily by NPS administrators, 
program managers, interpretive specialists, and educators. Results from 
the collection will be shared broadly across the NPS for application in 
the development, design, and delivery of climate change communications 
products.

II. Data

    OMB Control Number: None.
    Title: Visitor Perceptions of Climate Change in National Parks.
    Type of Request: This is a new collection.
    Affected Public: General public; Individual households.
    Respondent Obligation: Voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: One time.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 2,560.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 391 hours. We estimate the public 
reporting burden for both on-site surveys to be 13 minutes per 
completed response; two minutes to complete the non-response survey; 
and seven minutes complete the follow-up survey. These times also 
includes the time for the initial contact and time to explain the 
purpose of the study.
    Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'': We 
have not identified any ``non-hour cost'' burdens associated with this 
collection of information.

III. Comments

September 23, 2013 stating that we intended to request OMB approval of

solicited public comment for 60 days ending November 23, 2013. We did 
not receive any comments in response to that notice.
    We again invite comments concerning this information collection on:
     Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the agency to perform its duties, including whether the 
information is useful;
     The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information;
     Ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on the respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
