Forest Service

    Title: National Visitor Use Monitoring, and Customer and Use Survey 
Techniques for Operations, Management, Evaluation and Research.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0110.
    Summary of Collection: The National Forest Management Act (NFMA) of 
1976 (16 U.S.C., Sec. 1600-1614) and the Government Performance and 
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) (Pub. L. 103-62) require a comprehensive 
assessment of present and anticipated uses, demand for and supply of 
renewable resources from the nation's public and private forests and 
rangelands. An important element in the reporting is the number of 
visits to National Forests and Grasslands, as well as to Wilderness 
Areas that the agency manages. The Forest Service will use the National 
Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) survey to collect the information.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Customer and Use Survey 
Techniques for Operations, Management, Evaluation and Research 
(CUSTOMER) study combines several different survey approaches to gather 
data describing visitors to and users of public recreation lands, 
including their trip activities, satisfaction levels, evaluations, 
demographic profiles, trip characteristics, spending, and annual 
visitation patterns. FS will use face-to-face interviewing for 
collecting information on-site as well as English and Spanish written 
survey instruments to be mailed back by respondents. The NVUM results 
and data are a source of data and information in addressing forest land 
management planning, national strategic planning, service to 
minorities, and identification of a forest's recreation niche. 
Conducting the collection less frequently puts information updates out 
of cycle with forest planning and other data preparations and reporting 
activities.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 45,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting; Quarterly; Annually.
