BILLING CODE 4310-HC-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service 60-Day Notice of Intention To Request Clearance of Collection of Information; Opportunity for Public Comment AGENCY: National Park Service, National Capital Parks—Central ACTION: Notice and request for comments. SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and 5 CFR Part 1320, Reporting and Record Keeping Requirements, the National Park Service
(NPS)invites public comments on a proposed collection of information. The NPS specifically requests comments on:
(1)the need for the information being collected, including whether the information has practical utility;
(2)the validity and accuracy of the reporting burden estimate;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. The NPS requests comments on an application form that allows the Park Programs Division of National Capital Parks—Central to process requests from individuals and organizations to hold public gatherings on NPS property. These public gatherings consist of special events and demonstrations that the NPS is charged with regulating to insure protection of cultural and natural resources within NPS property. The NPS will use the information you submit to determine whether or not to make modifications to the application form. Once the NPS makes any modifications that it may decide to adopt, the NPS plans to submit a proposed collection of information package to OMB with a request that OMB approve the package and reinstate the OMB clearance number. You may obtain copies of the application from the source listed below (see the “send comments to” section). DATES: Public comments on the proposed Information Collection Request
(ICR)will be accepted on or before June 2, 2000. SEND COMMENTS TO: Park Programs Division, National Capital Region, 1100 Ohio Dr. Rm. 128, SW, Washington, D.C. 20242. Phone: 202-619-7225, Fax: 202-401-2430. If you wish to comment, you may submit your comments using several methods. You may mail comments to the postal address given here. You may fax your comments to the fax number given. You may also hand-deliver comments to the address given here. Our practice is to make comments, including names and home addresses of respondents, available for public review during regular business hours. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address from the record, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. There also may be circumstances in which we would withhold from the record a respondent's identity, as allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold your name and/or address, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. However, we will not consider anonymous comments. We will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in their entirety.
