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: The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, as
amended (LWCF Act) (54 U.S.C. 200301 et. seq.) was enacted to help
preserve, develop, and ensure access for the public to outdoor
recreation opportunities. Among other programs, the LWCF Act provides
funds for and authorizes federal assistance to the States for planning,
acquisition, and development of needed land and water areas and
facilities for outdoor recreation purposes. In accordance with the LWCF
Act, the National Park Service (we, NPS) administers the LWCF State
Assistance Program, which provides matching grants to States.
LWCF grants are provided to states (including the 50 states; the
Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands; the
District of Columbia; and the Territories of Guam, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, and American Samoa) on a matching basis for up to 50 percent
of the total project-related allowable costs. Grants to eligible
insular areas may be for 100 percent assistance. Payments for all
projects are made to the state organization that is authorized to
accept and administer funds paid for approved projects. Local units of
government participate in the program as sub-grantees of the state with
the state retaining primary grant compliance responsibility.
