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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
