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
January 12, 2023 (88 FR 2121). 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 Division of Permits Management of the National Mall
and Memorial Parks is authorized by regulations codified in 36 CFR
7.96(g) to issue permits for public gatherings, including special
events and demonstrations, held on NPS property within the National
Capital Area. The regulations reflect the special demands on many urban
National Capital Area parks used as sites for demonstrations and
special events. A special event is defined as any presentation,
program, or display that is recreational, entertaining, or celebratory
in nature (e.g., sports events, pageants, celebrations, historical
reenactments, regattas, entertainments, exhibitions, parades, fairs,
festivals, and similar events). The term ``demonstration'' includes
demonstrations, picketing, speechmaking, marching, holding vigils or
religious services, and all other forms of conduct that involve the
communication or expression of views or grievances. We use NPS Form 10-
941 ``Application for a Permit to Conduct a Demonstration or Special
Event in Park Areas'' to collect information that is used to identify
the nature of the proposed activity and determine the statutory
authority to grant the permit.
Title of Collection: National Capital Area Application for Public
Gathering.
OMB Control Number: 1024-0021.
[[Page 86372]]
Form Number: NPS Form 10-941, ``Application for a Permit to Conduct
a Demonstration or Special Event in Park Areas''.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals, organizations,
businesses, and State, local, or tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 1,890.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 7,166.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 0.5 hours to
1.5 hours, depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 6,617.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: The estimated annual
non-hour burden cost associated with this information collection is
169.920 ($120 x 1,416 applicants). A $120.00 application fee is
submitted to recover the cost of processing the request. There is no
application fee for permits to cover First Amendment activities.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Information Collection Clearance Officer, National Park Service.
