employees and where they work, but we ask that you not provide any personally identifiable information in any of your
submissions (e.g., employee names). The information will be used to help both the [concession company] and the NPS
Office of Public Health, working in collaboration, to detect high-risk disease transmission events, monitor and track their
spread, implement appropriate public health response efforts, and assess the effects of these response efforts in order
to protect people in the National Parks as efficiently and effectively as possible. The questions should take less than 10
minutes to complete. All of your answers are voluntary. If you have any further questions about this survey or its use,

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Authority: The NPS Organic Act of 1916 (Organic Act) (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 regulate the use of the park areas under its jurisdiction.
Purpose: The NPS OPH uses the “Disease Reporting and Surveillance System” (DRSS) to enhance surveillance,
estimate the burden of illnesses, and improve knowledge about where these outbreaks were occurring within the park.
DRSS documents concessionaire employees’ illnesses as well as illnesses occurring on tour buses through an on-line,
real-time reporting system that allows concession management, the park, and the OPH to detect an increase in illness
reports that may suggest the beginning of an outbreak.
Disclosure: This collection will collect names and email addresses that will be used to follow up with respondents as
needed. While no particular statements offering assurances of confidentiality are provided to the individual on the
certification form, the NPS manages the forms in accordance with procedures established in the National Park Service
System of Record INTERIOR/NPS-10 - Central Files — (86 FR 50156 September 7, 2021).

appropriately to address the incidents. Your response is voluntary, but failure to complete this form will result in exclusion
from participation in the YCC Program. According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. OMB has approved this collection of information and assigned Control No. 1024-0286.
