SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), 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 27, 2022 (87 FR 4283). 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: Authorized by 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 to conduct disease
surveillance, respond to urgent outbreaks, and prevent illnesses within
or associated with National
[[Page 71673]]
Parks. National Parks are federally managed lands where state and local
health departments may not have jurisdiction, therefore 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 3 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, serious injury, 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.
