Abstract: NPS needs to sponsor information collection surveys of the public to provide to park managers information for improving the quality and utility of park programs. NPS finds the current process by which it secures OMB approval of proposed collections of information can be improved with respect to securing public comment. It can also be made more efficient for the Federal Government through reducing current levels of personnel and funding necessary for preparing and reviewing the proposed collections of information. NPS believes it has developed an alternative approach for processing proposed collections.
