SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass program is a 
cooperative effort between five federal agencies: National Park 
Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management. A survey will be used 
to understand how passes are being used in recreational areas managed 
by the five partnering agencies. These passes are intended to provide 
ease of use and potential cost savings to the public, however there is 
no centralized tracking system available to determine where, when and 
how often the passes are used; and with that, there is no way to 
estimate the division of revenue between the agencies for the sale and 
use of the passes. The proposed survey will be used to gather 
information on use patterns from current pass holders to provide data 
that could be used to develop strategies for the equitable division of 
pass revenues between participating agencies.
