Abstract The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting to renew a previously approved collection (OMB Control Number: 1024-0216 which is required to provide an understanding of visitor satisfaction and an understanding of the park and agency's performance related to The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) NPS Goals IIa1 (visitor satisfaction) and IIb1 (visitor understanding and appreciation). The Visitor Survey Card (VSC) was developed to measure each park unit's performance related to these two goals. The Visitor Survey Card contains eight questions regarding visitor evaluations of service and facility quality, awareness of park significance, and basic demographic information. Each year, all NPS units nationwide (approximately 332) are required to collect data using the Visitor Survey Card. Data and information collected through the VSC are used to measure and report performance related to a broad list of GPRA Goals and to provide feedback used by Superintendents and other managers to develop performance improvement plans. II. Data OMB Control Number: 1024-0216. Title: National Park Service Visitor Survey Card. Service Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
