Short Statement: This is an existing collection with seven (7) new forms added which were in use without approval. USPP Form 1 was previously approved under 1024-0245 but is now officially re-designated as NPS Form 10-2201. The remaining seven (7) forms which were in use without OMB approval are assigned form numbers 10-2201A through 10-2201F. With the submission of the additional forms in use without approval, we are reporting an increase of 12.515 annual responses and a reduction of 207 burden hours. The estimate of 8 hours previously reported for this collection included the time for the applicants to complete the entire package (Form 10-2201 and the forms in use without approval) despite the additional forms not being submitted for approval. The reduction in our burden hour estimate is due to the reduced completion time of the forms. The reduced time is based on comments received during the outreach process and on past experience administering this collection. Additionally, the revised forms are more streamlined and more easily fillable in the MS Word format which should help to reduce time spent completing them. We are also reporting an increase in the nonhour annual cost burden of $11,252. This increase is due to increased costs associated with providing the required supporting documentation, as well as notary fees and costs associated with making copies of the documents.
