SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 36 CFR 60 and 63: National
Register of Historic Places Registration
Form; Continuation Sheet; National
Register Multiple Property
Documentation Form.
Form(s): NPS 10–900 (registration
form), 10–900–a (continuation sheet),
10–900–b (multiple property
documentation form).
OMB Control Number: 1024–0018.
Expiration Date: 01/31/2009.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Description of Need: The National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966
requires the Secretary of the Interior to
maintain and expand the National
Register of Historic Places, and to
establish criteria and guidelines for
including properties in the National
Register. The National Register of
Historic Places Registration Form
documents properties nominated for
listing in the National Register and
demonstrates that they meet the criteria
established for inclusion. The
documentation is used to assist in
preserving and protecting the properties
and for heritage education and
interpretation. National Register
properties must be considered in the
planning for federal or federally assisted
projects. National Register listing is
required for eligibility for the federal
rehabilitation tax incentives. The
primary purpose of the ICR is to
nominate properties for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places, the
official list of the nation’s cultural
resources worthy of preservation, which
Public Law requires that the Secretary of
the Interior maintain and expand.
Properties are listed in the National
Register upon nomination by State,
Federal and Tribal Historic
Preservations Officers. The National
Register of Historic Places Registration
Form documents properties nominated
for listing in the National Register and
demonstrates that they meet the criteria
established for inclusion. The
documentation is used to assist in
preserving and protecting the properties
and for heritage education in
interpretation. National Register
properties and those eligible for listing
must be considered in the planning for
Federal or federally assisted projects,
and National Register listing is required
for eligibility for the Federal
Rehabilitation Tax incentives. The
forms provide the historic

Frm 00047

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

documentation on which decisions for
listing and eligibility are based. The
obligation to respond is required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Description of respondents: The
affected public are State, tribal, and
local governments, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals.
Nominations to the National Register of
Historic Places are voluntary.
Estimated average number of
respondents: 1,513.
Estimated average number of
responses: 1,513.
Estimated average time burden per
respondent: Depending on which form
is used, the average burden per response
may very considerably because of many
complex factors. In general, to fulfill
minimum program requirements
describing the nominated property and
demonstrating its eligibility under the
criteria, the average burden hours range
from 18 hours for a nomination
proposed under an existing Multiple
Property Submission (MPS), to 36 hours
for a new proposed individual
nomination, to 120 hours for a newly
proposed MPS. Continuation Sheets
(10–900-a) are used as space for
additional information for both the
individual nomination form and the
multiple property form, as needed. As
such the calculation of burden hours per
response for the continuation sheet has
been included in the above average
calculations for the National Register of
Historic Places Registration Form (10–
900), and the National Register Multiple
Property Documentation Form (10–900b).
Frequency of response: Once per
respondent.
Estimated total annual reporting
burden: 52,824 hours broken down as
follows: 196 nominations submitted
under existing MPS @ 18 hrs. each =
3,528 hours; 1,186 newly proposed
individual nominations @ 36 hrs. each
= 42,696 hours; 55 new proposed MPS
@ 120 hrs. each = 6,600 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) the
practical utility of the information being
gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden
hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information being collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden to
respondents, including use of
automated information collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Proposed Sale of Concession
Operations (36 CFR part 51, subpart J).
Bureau Form Number (s): None.
OMB Control Number: 1024–0126.
Expiration Date: April 30, 2009.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Description of Need: The National
Park Service (NPS) authorizes private
businesses known as concessioners to
provide necessary and appropriate
visitor facilities and services in areas of
the National Park System. Concession
authorizations may be assigned, sold,
transferred or encumbered by the
concessioner subject to prior written
approval of the NPS. The NPS requires
that certain information be submitted
for review prior to the consummation of
any sale, transfer, assignment, or
encumbrance.
16 U.S.C. 3 provides that no contract,
lease, permit or privilege granted for the
purpose of providing accommodations
for visitors to the national parks shall be
assigned or transferred by such grantees,
permittees, or licenses without the
approval of the NPS, first obtained in
writing. It further provides that the NPS
may authorize concessioners to execute
mortgages and issue bonds, shares of
stock, and other evidences or interest in
or indebtedness upon their rights,
properties and franchises, for the
purposes of installing, enlarging, or
improving plants and equipment and
extending facilities for the
accommodation of the public within
national parks and monuments. 16
U.S.C. 20(3) also provides that the
possessory interest of a concessioner
may be assigned, transferred,
encumbered, or relinquished.
Regulations at 36 CFR, part 51, require
that certain information be submitted
for review by the NPS prior to the
consummation of any sale, transfer,
assignment or encumbrance.
The information requested is used to
determine whether or not the proposed
transaction will result in decreased
services to the public, the lack of a
reasonable opportunity for profit over
the remaining term of the authorization,
or rates in excess of existing approved
rates to the public. In addition, pursuant
to the regulations at 36 CFR, Part 51, the
value of rights for intangible assets such
as the concession contract, right of
preference in renewal, user days, or low
fees belong to the Government. If any
portion of the purchase price is

PO 00000

Frm 00048

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

attributable either directly or indirectly
to such assets, the transaction may not
be approved. The amount and type of
information to be submitted varies with
the type and complexity of the proposed
transaction. Without such information,
the NPS would be unable to determine
whether approval of the proposed
transaction would be adequate.
Concessioners’ obligation to respond is
required to retain or obtain benefits.
Automated data collection: No
automated data collection will take
place.
Description of respondents:
Businesses or other for-profit,
individuals or households, not-for-profit
institutions.
Estimate average number of
respondents: 20.
Estimated average time burden per
respondent: 80 hours.
Estimated average number of
responses: 20.
Frequency of response: Once per
respondent.
Estimated total annual reporting
burden: 1,600 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) The
practical utility of the information being
gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden
hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information being collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden to
respondents, including use of
automated information collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail 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.
