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
September 12, 2022 (87 FR 55848). 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 Executive Order 10450, the Homeland
Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12), regulations mandated by the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management OPM, and the Department of the
Interior (DOI), the National Park Service (NPS) collects information
from all applicants for Federal employment and non-Federal personnel
requiring access to NPS property.
The NPS uses Form 10-152, ``Background Clearance Initiation
Request'' to collect information from all applicants to determine their
suitability to receive DOI credentials. The National Background
Investigation Services (NBIS) Electronic Application (eApp) System, is
used to create accounts necessary to initiate background investigations
for all individuals requiring access to NPS property and/or to receive
a DOIAccess Personal Identification Verification (PIV) badge. The
information collected is protected by the Privacy Act and maintained in
a secure system of records Interior/DOI-45, ``HSPD-12: Identity
Management System and Personnel Security Files,'' 86 FR 50156;
September 7, 2021).
With this renewal, we're proposing to update the name of the form
from National Park Service Background Clearance Initiation Request to
National Park Service Investigation/Background Clearance Initiation
Request. Adding ``Investigation'' to the form clarifies the purpose and
intent of the form. We've made modifications to two of the fields,
expanding on the response options to clarify the different non-federal
affiliations for fields in DOI Access and also based on the changes in
the vetting model. We've added four new fields based on the new
administrative requirements and due to the feedback received during the
voluntary outreach exercise.
