I. Abstract
The Programmatic Clearance for NPSSponsored Surveys applies to surveys
designed to furnish usable information
to NPS managers and planners
concerning park visitors, visitor
services, potential park visitors, and
residents of communities near parks.
This information is intended to provide
NPS managers with data that can be
used to improve the quality and utility
of agency programs, services, and
planning efforts. Questions asked under
the programmatic review process must
show a clear tie to NPS management
and planning needs. The programmatic
review may only be used for noncontroversial surveys that are unlikely
to attract or include topics of significant
public interest in the programmatic
review process.
To qualify for the NPS generic
programmatic review process, all
information collections must be directly
tied to an area managed by the NPS or
research that will benefit NPS
management efforts. All collections
must be reviewed by the NPS and
approved by OMB before the survey can
be initiated.

I. Abstract
The United States Park Police (USPP)

areas and certain other Federal and

prevent and detect criminal activity;
conduct investigations; apprehend
individuals suspected of committing
offenses against Federal, State, and local
laws; provide protection to the
President of the United States and
visiting dignitaries; and provide
protective services to some of the most
recognizable monuments and memorials
in the world. Applicants for USPP
officer positions must complete and
pass a competitive written examination,
an oral interview, a medical
examination and psychological
evaluation, and a battery of physical
fitness and agility tests. As part of this
application and screening process, the
USPP uses the following forms:
USPP Form (TBD) ‘‘Physician Consent

The applicant may choose to self-certify
their ability to complete the PEB by
completing the optional USPP Form

candidate provide the following
information as part of the selfcertification process:
