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 the Office of Management and Budget (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: Pursuant to the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), its Regulations
(AWAR), and the Interagency Research Animal Committee (IRAC), any
entity or institution that uses vertebrate animals for research,
testing, or training purposes must have an oversight committee to
evaluate all aspects of that institution's animal care and use. To be
in compliance, the NPS is responsible for managing and maintaining an
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) that has the
experience and expertise necessary to assess and approve all research,
testing, or training activities involving vertebrate animals on NPS
managed lands and territories. All research, testing, or training
projects involving animals taking place on NPS territories must be
approved by the NPS IACUC prior to their commencement.

following forms for consideration by the committee:
<bullet> IACUC General Submission (GS) Form (NPS Form 10-1301)

<bullet> IACUC Concurrence Form (NPS Form 10-1303)
<bullet> IACUC Field Study Form (NPS Form 10-1304)

currently consists of a Chair, NPS Regional members, and two additional
members (a veterinarian serving as the ``Attending Veterinarian'' and
another individual serving as the ``Unaffiliated Member at-Large'').
