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
August 15, 2025 (90 FR 39417). We did not receive any comments in
response to that Notice.
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; and
(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: Each year, over 7,000 visitors report lost or found items
in the National Park System. According to 36 CFR 2.22, ``Disposition of
Property,'' unattended property is considered abandoned if not claimed
within 60 days. This period begins when the owner is notified, or when
the item is placed in custody if the owner is unknown.
Unclaimed property must be stored for at least 60 days. If
unclaimed, the finder (if not an NPS employee) may claim it. Otherwise,
it will be disposed of according to federal regulations.
To comply with 36 CFR 2.22, Form 10-166, ``Lost--Found Report,'' is
used to identify and return lost items to their rightful owners. The
form collects necessary information from the reporting visitor. NPS
Form 10-166 collects the following information from the visitor filing
the report: (1) Park name, receiving station (if appropriate), and date
item was lost or found, (2) Name, address, city, state, zip code, email
address, and contact phone numbers, (3) Type of item, detailed
description of item, and location where the item was last seen or found
and (4) Photograph of item (if available).
