hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or 
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals 
outside the United States should use the relay services offered within 
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in 
the United States. You may also view the ICR at <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>.

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.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the NPS; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the NPS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the NPS minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    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 the Organic Act of 1916 (54 U.S.C. 100101), 
the NPS is charged with protecting cultural and natural resources for 
the enjoyment and education of current and future generations. The NPS 
Education Program Office administers education programs to fulfill the 
educational mission of the NPS. This new information collection request 
is for an online survey of elementary school educators in support of 
that mission. Results from this study will support the Education 
Program Office in its work to provide inspiring and informative 
educational programs to students across the country.
    This study will include 3rd-5th grade educators who have or have 
not participated in NPS education programs. Collecting data from both 
groups will allow the NPS to understand program effectiveness, as well 
as identify barriers to participation and factors that may inspire 
future participation. This information collection will seek to 
understand educators' attitudes toward NPS Education Programs, 
management questions regarding program participation, and 
considerations for investing in and improving future program offerings.
