The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking public comments on its request to renew surveys and focus groups used to gather information from visitors and nearby community members of public lands. This information aids in planning decisions related to recreation services. The request has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The public can send comments or recommendations until January 9, 2025, and the collected data will support the BLM's visitor services planning for three more years.
Simple Explanation
The helpers who take care of big parks want to ask people about their visits so they can make the parks more fun and safe. They want to make sure if people have ideas or comments, they write them down, but some people might be shy to share because their names could be shown to everyone.
