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: National Heritage Areas (NHAs), as authorized by the
Historic Sites Act of 1935, as amended (54 U.S.C. Ch. 3201) are places
where natural, cultural, and historic resources combine to form a
cohesive, nationally important landscape. The NHA program includes 49
heritage areas and is administered by NPS coordinators in Washington,
DC, and six regional offices--Anchorage, San Francisco, Denver, Omaha,
Philadelphia, and Atlanta--as well as local park unit staff.
The NPS uses the following forms to monitor the progress of each
heritage area on the implementation of management plans and performance
goals:
<bullet> 10-320 Annual Program Report--Part I Funding Report, NPS
NHA Program Office uses the information collected to allocate funds,
prepare the annual NPS Budget Justification, and respond to directives
from Congress.
<bullet> 10-321 Annual Program Report--Part II Progress Report, NPS
NHA Program Office and regional program offices use the information
collected to track each heritage area management or coordinating
entity's progress on management plan implementation. The NPS uses the
information in the annual program reports and publications to inform
individual heritage area evaluations.
