extraordinary circumstances within the
DHS Environmental Planning and
Historic Preservation Decision Support
System or alternate system approved by
DHS.
When applying NRCS CEs, DHS will
evaluate the proposed action to ensure
evaluation of NRCS ‘‘Conservation
Practice Standards’’ listed at 23 CFR
771.117 paragraphs (b). Consistent with
the DHS NEPA Instruction Manual, DHS
will document each application of
NRCS CEs and their consistency with
NRCS Conservation Practice Standards
in the DHS Environmental Planning and
Historic Preservation Decision Support
System or alternate system approved by
DHS.
DHS’s list of extraordinary
circumstances is comparable to those of
NRCS, RD, and USFS, found at 7 CFR
Subtitle A Part 1b.3(f); NTIA found at
Guidance on NTIA National
Environmental Policy Act Compliance,
Appendix C; IHS found at 58 FR 569;
FHWA ‘‘unusual circumstances’’ found
at 23 CFR 771.117 paragraphs (b); DA,
DON, and USACE found at Department
of War National Environmental Policy
Act Implementing Procedures, Part 1.4;
and TVA, found at 18 CFR, Subpart C
Section 1318.201.
DHS’s list of extraordinary
circumstances is comparable to those of
the FirstNet Authority, found at First
Responder Network Authority
Procedures for Implementing the
National Environmental Policy Act,
Appendix C. However, FirstNet
Authority extraordinary circumstance
11, which provides EA requirements for
new antennae structures is not
explicitly covered under in DHS
extraordinary circumstances. The
proposed adopted FirstNet Authority CE
does not cover antennae construction
and will not be used for such activities.
Therefore, only the DHS NEPA
Instruction Manual and the
extraordinary circumstances contained
therein would be reviewed as to
whether the proposed action has the
potential to result in significant effects
for actions DHS is intending to apply a
NRCS, RD, USFS, FirstNet Authority,
NTIA, IHS, FHWA, DA, DON, USACE,
or TVA CE. If DHS determines that a CE
is not appropriate to support a decision
on a particular proposed action due to
extraordinary circumstances, DHS
would prepare an EA or EIS. Consistent
with the DHS NEPA Instruction Manual,
the DHS Environmental Planning and
Historic Preservation Decision Support
System, or alternate system approved by
DHS, will be utilized for application of
all CE requiring preparation of REC.

IV. Consultation With Agencies and
Determination of Appropriateness
In May of 2026, DHS consulted with
NRCS, RD, USFS, FirstNet Authority,
NTIA, DOE, IHS, FHWA, DOW, DA,
DON, USACE, and TVA about the
appropriateness of the Department’s
adoption of their respective categorical
exclusions. Those consultations each
included a review of each agency’s or
bureau’s experience in establishing and
applying the categorical exclusions, as
well as DHS’s intended uses for the
categorical exclusions. Based on those
consultations and reviews, DHS has
determined that the types of activities
DHS proposes to authorize are
substantially similar to the activities for
which NRCS, RD, USFS, FirstNet
Authority, NTIA, DOE, IHS, FHWA, DA,
DON, USACE, and TVA have applied
their respective categorical exclusions.
Accordingly, the impacts of the DHS
actions would be substantially similar to
the impacts of each establishing
agency’s actions, which are not
significant, absent the existence of
extraordinary circumstances. Therefore,
DHS has determined that DHS’s
proposed use of the CEs, as described
within this notice is appropriate.
V. Notice to the Public and
Documentation of Adoption
This notice serves to identify to the
public and document DHS’s adoption of
NRCS, RD, USFS, FirstNet Authority,
NTIA, DOE, IHS, FHWA, DA, DON,
USACE, and TVA categorical exclusions
and identifies the types of actions to
which DHS contemplates applying the
actions at this time. Upon issuance of
this notice, the adopted of NRCS, RD,
USFS, FirstNet Authority, NTIA, DOE,
IHS, FHWA, DA, DON, USACE, and
TVA categorical exclusions will be
available to DHS and accessible on
DHS.gov at https://www.dhs.gov/ocrso/

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 March
13, 2026 (91 FR 12441). We did not
receive any comments in response to
that Notice.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies 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.
We are especially interested in public
comments 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. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to the Office of Management and Budget

Abstract: The NPS is authorized by
section 4 of the National Trails System
Act (16 U.S.C. 1243) and Secretarial
Order No. 3319 to administer the
National Recreation Trail (NRT)

The NPS uses forms 10–1002:

Water Trail and 10–1003: Application
for Designation as National Recreation
Trail to collect information NPS
requires when submitting suitable trails
or trail systems and water trails to the
Secretary of the Interior for designation.
The applications are evaluated for
adherence to NRT requirements and
criteria. NPS evaluation of an
application is based on (1) the
sufficiency of information provided on
the application form and in supporting
documentation, such as photographs,
maps, and written landowner consents
that accompany the form, and (2)
successfully meeting the NRT
requirements and criteria. Successful
applications are forwarded to the
Secretary of the Interior for approval.

Designation as National Recreation Trail
or National Water Trail.
OMB Control Number: 1024–0283.
Form Number: NPS 10–1002:

institutions; nonprofit organizations;
state, tribal, and local governments; and
Federal agency land units.

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 130 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
