CURE POST-EXPERIENCE SURVEY
PAPERWORK REDUCTION and PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT: The Paperwork Reduction Act requires us to tell you why
we are collecting this information, how we will use it, and whether or not you have to respond. We are authorized by
the National Park Service Protection Interpretation and research in System (54 USC §100702) to collect this
information. The routine uses of this information will be for the benefit of NPS Managers and Planning staff in
Curecanti National Recreation Area in future initiatives related to the visitor use and resource management within the
site. The data collected will be summarized to evaluate visitor uses and expectations during their visit at Curecanti
National Recreation Area. Your responses to this collection are completely voluntary and will remain anonymous. You
can end the process at any time and will not be penalized in any way for choosing to do so. All contact information
collected for the purpose of the follow-up survey will be destroyed at the end of the collection period and no personal
identifiable records will be maintained or stored for any purposes. Data collected will only be reported in aggregates
and no individually identifiable responses will be reported.
A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number (1024-0224). We estimate that it will take about 7 minutes to
complete this on-site questionnaire. You may send comments concerning the burden estimates or any aspect of this
information collection to: Dr. Will Rice, University of Montana, william.rice@umontana.edu (email); or Bret Meldrum,
Chief of the Social Science Program at bret_meldrum@nps.gov (email).
