Abstract: Gathering and removing
plants or plant parts is currently
prohibited in National Park System
areas unless specifically authorized by
Federal statute or treaty rights or
conducted under the limited
circumstances authorized by an existing
regulation codified in 36 CFR 2.1(c).
Regulations codified in 36 CFR part 2
allow the gathering and removal of
plants or plant parts by enrolled
members of federally recognized tribes
for traditional purposes. The regulations
authorize agreements between the NPS
and federally recognized tribes to
facilitate the continuation of tribal
cultural practices on lands within areas
of the National Park System where those
practices traditionally occurred, without
causing a significant adverse impact to
park resources or values. The
regulations:
• respect tribal sovereignty and
cultural practices,
• further the government-togovernment relationship between the
United States and the Indian Tribes, and
• provide system-wide consistency
for this aspect of NPS-Tribal relations.
The agreements explicitly recognize
the special government-to-government
relationship between the United States
and Indian Tribes and are based upon
mutually agreed upon terms and
conditions subject to the requirements
of 36 CFR 2.6(f). The agreements serve
as the documents through which the
NPS authorizes tribal gathering
implemented by an accompanying
permit authorized by 36 CFR 1.6. Only

enrolled members of a federally
recognized tribe are allowed to collect
plants or plant parts, and the tribe must
be traditionally associated with the
specific park area. This traditional
association must predate the
establishment of the park. The plant
gathering must meet a traditional
purpose that is a customary activity and
practice rooted in the history of the tribe
and is important for the continuation of
the tribe’s distinct culture. Authorized
plant gathering must be sustainable and
may not result in a significant adverse
impact on park resources or values. The
sale and commercial use of plants or
plant parts within areas of the National
Park System will continue to be
prohibited by the NPS regulations in 36
CFR 2.1(c)(3)(v).
The information collections
associated with 36 CFR part 2 include:
(1) The initial request from a tribe that
we enter into an agreement with the
tribe for gathering and removal of plants
or plant parts for traditional purposes.
The request must include the
information specified in part 2.6(c).
(2) The agreement defines the terms
under which the NPS may issue a
permit to a tribe for plant gathering
purposes. To make determinations
based on tribal requests or to enter into
an agreement, we may need to collect
information from specific tribal
members or tribes who make requests.
The agreement must contain the
information specified in part 2.6(f).
(3) Tribes may submit an appeal to the
NPS to provide additional information
on the historical relationship of the
tribe, traditional uses of plants to be
gathered, and/or the impact of gathering
on the resource of concern in the event
of a denial by the NPS on this issue.

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/).
