The National Park Service leasing
program allows the public to lease property located within the
boundaries of the park system. Information is collected from anyone
who wishes to submit a bid or proposal in response to a Request for
Bids or a Request for Proposals; or from current lease holders who
wish to sublet a leased property or assign the lease to a new
lessee, construct or demolish portions of a leased property, amend
a lease to change the type of activities permitted under the lease,
or encumber (mortgage) the leased premises. The information
collected will be used to evaluate offers, proposed subleases or
assignments, proposed construction or demolition, the merits of
proposed lease amendments, and proposed encumbrances.

The information we collect is
currently collected using templates in our Request For Proposals
(RFP) documents, however, we are requesting approval for the
following forms that have not been approved previously. These forms
were created to allow for separate, simpler forms, to be used. The
changes also make the forms easier for applicants to read and edit,
and provide a more consistent appearance to the forms. We are
reporting an increase annual cost to the Federal Government of
$31,109 attributed to the increase in respondents and increased
salary costs. We are reporting an increase of 87 annual responses
and an associated increase of 844 burden hours. The increase in the
burden hours is due to the increase in respondents and the
inclusion of a large residential master lease. Our new estimate is
based on our recent experiences with collecting this information
and the increase in the number of respondents to potential leases
as well as the increase in the number of sub-lessees that may be
required to complete these forms.
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
