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), 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
February 16, 2022 (87 FR 8874). We did not receive any comments in
response to that Notice.
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: The National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Act
of 1998 (54 U.S.C. 308301, et seq.) authorizes the NPS to collect
information from applicants requesting to join the Network to Freedom
Program (the Network). The NPS uses Form 10- 946, National Underground
Railroad Network to Freedom Application, to evaluate potential
participants and determine eligibility to become part of the Network.
Through the Network, we coordinate preservation and education efforts
nationwide and are working to integrate local historical sites,
museums, and interpretive programs associated with the Underground
Railroad movement.
All entities that apply to join the Network must have a verifiable
association with the historic Underground Railroad movement and
complete NPS Form 10-946, ``National Underground Railroad Network to
Freedom Application,'' available at <a href="https://www.nps.gov/subjects/ugrr/index.htm">https://www.nps.gov/subjects/ugrr/index.htm</a> (website). Respondents must (1) verify associations and
characteristics through descriptive texts that are the result of
historical research and (2) submit supporting documentation (e.g.,
copies of rare documents, photographs, and maps).
Network to Freedom Program Partners work with the NPS to help
validate the efforts of local and regional organizations, making it
easier for them to share their expertise and communicate with us and
each other. Prospective partners must submit a letter with the
following information:
<bullet> Name and address of the agency (company or organization)
<bullet> Name, address, and phone, fax, and email information of
principal contact
<bullet> Abstract not to exceed 200 words describing the partner's
activity or mission statement
<bullet> Brief description of the entity's association to the
Underground Railroad
