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.

    Respondent Obligation: Voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: One time.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 2,560.
