The Department of the Interior (DOI)
manages an estimated 74 million objects and scientific specimens,
and over 91,000 linear feet of archives in trust for the American
public. This diverse collection consists of archaeological
artifacts, archives, biological specimens, ethnographic objects,
fine arts, geological specimens, historic objects, and
paleontological specimens that are held by the Department’s bureaus
and offices (bureaus). This information collection request is
directed to non-Federal repositories that house DOI museum
collections. The information that DOI obtains, on a voluntary
basis, concerns DOI museum collections held at non-Federal
repositories. Receipt of this information supports the Department’s
management of its museum collections for public benefit, including
preservation, protection, access, and use, as well as where
applicable, compliance with the Native American Graves Protection
and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Although the majority of DOI’s
documented collections are housed in bureau facilities across the
nation, at least 10 percent are located at approximately 970
non-Federal repositories, primarily state, tribal, and local
museums and university departments. Most of the DOI museum
artifacts, specimens, and archives housed in non-Federal
repositories resulted from projects on Federal lands, and include
collections from the disciplines of archaeology, biology, geology,
and paleontology, as well as associated project
documentation.

Burden hour estimates for this
DOI information collection seemingly increased for Annual Reports
from 4.33 hours (Catalog, Accession, and Inventory) to 29 hours due
to consolidating the three aforementioned data categories and
expanding the categories to encompass additional information that
may be requested by DOI bureaus to ensure proper management of DOI
museum collections. Checklist increased from three hours to six
hours; and Input Form decreased from 32.5 hours to 13.5 hours.
Adjustments in Annual Report, Checklist, and Input Form burden
hours are based on outreach to respondents.
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
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control

If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
