SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the
PRA. We 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.
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
[[Page 4284]]
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 to the NPS Organic Act, 54 U.S.C. 100101 et
seq., and Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S. Code Chapter 6A, the NPS
Office of Public Health (OPH) is called upon by National Park Service
leadership and others to conduct disease surveillance, respond to
urgent outbreaks, and prevent illnesses within or associated with
National Parks. National Parks are federally managed lands where state
and local health departments may not have jurisdiction, the public
health response rests with the NPS OPH. This collection will allow the
NPS OPH to conduct epidemiological investigations in response to public
health events of concern, including:
<bullet> Incidents where three or more visitors, employees, or
volunteers have similar symptoms or illnesses
<bullet> Single reports of rare or reportable diseases
<bullet> Incidents that result in death, cause serious injury or
illness, and/or lead to overnight hospitalization
<bullet> Wildlife encounters of concern such as bites, scratches,
or attacks and wildlife deaths that do not fit known patterns
<bullet> Any additional illnesses of public health concern
The information collected will be used to determine the agents,
sources, modes of transmission, or risk factors so that effective
prevention and control measures can be implemented.
