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
June 28, 2024 (89 FR 54036). 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
issues:
(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: Under the Lower Mississippi Delta Initiatives (LMDI)
(Pub. L. 103-433, title XI), the Secretary of the Interior is
authorized to award grants to qualified Tribal, governmental, and non-
governmental entities and individuals. The purpose of these grants is
to help preserve regional culture and history and enhance educational
and recreational opportunities for delta residents. Also, under LMDI,
the Secretary is authorized to award grants and provide other types of
technical and financial assistance to conserve and protect historic and
archeological sites and structures in the delta region. The Secretary
delegated these authorities to NPS.
To support grant applications, NPS requests OMB approve the
following collections: 10-2020 LMDI Local Heritage Grants Application,
and 10-2020A LMDI Budget and Funding Form. Both will be used by the NPS
and Jefferson National Parks Association (JNPA) to determine
eligibility. Grant recipients will be required to submit a midway and
annual report.
