SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA. 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.
(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
[[Page 12442]]
to withhold your personal identifying information from public review,
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: The NPS is authorized by section 4 of the National Trails
System Act (16 U.S.C. 1243) and Secretarial Order No. 3319 to
administer the National Recreation Trail (NRT) program, which
establishes National Water Trails (NWT) as a class of National
Recreation Trails and directs that such trails collectively be
considered in a National Water Trails System.
The NPS uses forms 10-1002: Application for Designation as National
Water Trail and 10-1003: Application for Designation as National
Recreation Trail to collect information NPS requires when submitting
suitable trails or trail systems and water trails to the Secretary of
the Interior for designation. The applications are evaluated for
adherence to NRT requirements and criteria. NPS evaluation of an
application is based on (1) the sufficiency of information provided on
the application form and in supporting documentation, such as
photographs, maps, and written landowner consents that accompany the
form, and (2) successfully meeting the NRT requirements and criteria.
Successful applications are forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior
for approval.

Recreation Trail or National Water Trail.
