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
May 15, 2023 (88 FR 31005). 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 the Historic Sites Act of 1935, as amended
(54 U.S.C. Ch. 3201), National Heritage Areas (NHAs) 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.
