SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired
format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
January 19, 2021 (86 FR 5247). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not the information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
Abstract: The NPS is authorized by 54 U.S.C. 100701 Protection,
interpretation, and research in System to administer education programs
for audiences including but not limited to school groups, scouting
groups, extracurricular groups, and home school groups. To effectively
manage requests received for NPS educational programs, the NPS
Washington Support Office Division of Interpretation, Education, and
Volunteers seeks approval for the use of a new Service-wide form, the
Education Reservation Request Form.
The proposed form would collect necessary reservation information,
including: (1) Person(s) or organization(s) requesting education
program services, (2) type of program requested, (3) logistical details
including, date, time, grade level, number of students, (4) technology
available to group for distance learning programming, and (5) criteria
for academic fee waiver eligibility.
This information will facilitate operational aspects of scheduling
groups for in-park education programs, ranger in classroom programs,
and/or online distance learning programs. The form will be fully
electronic and available on participating parks websites for the
purpose of making school group reservations and accommodating public
requests for group education programming.
