SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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.
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. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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: Authorized by the NPS Organic Act of 1916, 54 U.S.C.
100101 et seq., the NPS has broad authority to regulate the use of the
park areas under its jurisdiction. Consistent with the Organic Act, as
well as the Constitution's Establishment Clause which mandates
government neutrality and allows the placement of holiday secular and
religious displays, the National Christmas Tree Music Program's holiday
musical entertainment may include both holiday secular and religious
music. To ensure that any proposed music selection is consistent with
the Establishment Clause, and presented in a prudent and objective
manner as a traditional part of the culture and heritage of this annual
holiday event, it must be approved in advance by the NPS.
The NPS National Christmas Tree Music Program at President's Park
is intended to provide musical entertainment for park visitors during
December on the Ellipse, where in celebration of the holiday season,
visitors can observe the National Christmas Tree, visit assorted
yuletide displays, and attend musical presentations. Each year, park
officials accept applications from musical groups who wish to
participate in the annual National Christmas Tree Program. The NPS uses
Form 10-942, ``National Christmas Tree Music Program Application'' to
accept applications from the public for participation in the program.
The form collects the following information:
<bullet> Contact name, phone number, and email
<bullet> Group name and location (city, state)
<bullet> Preferred performance dates and times
<bullet> Music selections/song list
<bullet> Equipment needs
<bullet> Number of performers
<bullet> Type of group (choir, etc.)
<bullet> Acknowledgement of the musical entertainment policy
Park officials use the information collected to select, plan,
schedule, and contact performers for the National Christmas Tree
Program.
