Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The Recreation Visitor Use Surveys contain program changes and adjustments. The customized surveys are no longer necessary since they have not been used within the 3 year time period after the Recreation Visitor Use Surveys were initially approved in 2008. This resulted in a program reduction of 463 total annual burden hours. There is an additional 13 hours for non-response contacts. The burden estimates for respondents were adjusted upward on 8 of the 11 surveys to accurately reflect the reasonable amount of time it takes to obtain a negative response and explanation. This resulted in an adjustment change with an increase of 448 burden hours.
