States should use the relay services
offered within their country to make
international calls to the point of
contact in the United States. You may

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we
provide the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on July 7,
2022 (87 FR 40547). We did not receive
any comments.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email 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.
Abstract: NPS policy requires that
research studies and specimen
collection conducted by researchers,
other than NPS employees on official
duty, require an NPS scientific research
and collecting permit. The permitting
process adheres to regulations codified
in 36 CFR 2.1 which prohibit the
disturbing, removing, or possessing of
natural, cultural, and archeological
resources. Additionally, regulations
codified in 36 CFR 2.5 govern the
collection of specimens in parks for the
purpose of research, baseline
inventories, monitoring, impact
analysis, group study, or museum
display.
As required by these regulations, a
permitting system is managed for
scientific research and collecting. NPS
forms 10–741a, Application for a
Scientific Research and Collecting
Permit and 10–741b, Application for a
Science Education Permit, are used to
collect information from persons
seeking a permit to conduct natural or
social science research and collection
activities in individual units of the
National Park System. Individuals who
receive a permit must report on the
activities conducted under the permit
using form 10–226 Investigator’s Annual
Report; 10–741C Field Work Check-in
Report, and Form 10–741D Field Work
Check-out Report.
The information in this collection is
used to manage the use and preservation
of park resources, and to report on the
status of permitted research and
collecting activities. We encourage
respondents to use RPRS to complete
and submit applications and reports.
Additional information about existing
applications, reporting forms, guidance
and explanatory material can be found
on the RPRS website (https://
irma.nps.gov/RPRS/).

Abstract: The NPS Organic Act of
1916, 54 U.S.C. 100101 et seq., and the
Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S. Code
chapter 6A, gives the NPS broad
authority to collect information to
protect and promote visitor health
across the National Parks. Each year, the
NPS Office of Public Health (OPH)
responds to multiple service-wide
incidents involving human disease
transmission within the park system.
Many of these incidents involve the
spread of common and highly
contagious viruses spread through
contaminated food, water, person-toperson, or contaminated surfaces. In the
event of illness incidents, public health
responders also consider and investigate
the possibility of other etiological
agents. The Disease Reporting and
Surveillance System (DRSS) provides
information on the symptoms, duration,
and location of illness, which allows
public health workers to work rapidly
and appropriately to address the
incidents.
NPS Forms 10–685 Concession
Employee Illness Report and 10–686
Tour Vehicle Passenger Illness Report
are used for monitoring health trends in
NPS units, detecting potential clusters
or outbreaks, and informing and
implementing disease response and
control activities. We are seeking to
make the following revisions to update
the forms.
(1) adding two questions at the
beginning of both forms to obtain the
name and email address of the person
completing the form
(2) a question (on Form 10–685) about
whether the sick employee received a
diagnosis, and
(3) adding the Office of Public
Health’s contact information,
This data provides parks, OPH staff,
managers of park concessioners, and
