[top] In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general public and other Federal agencies with page 5909 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 60-day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on March 28, 2022 (87 FR 17321). No comments were received.

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: The NPS maintains law enforcement incident reports in the Department of the Interior's Incident and Management Reporting System (IMARS), which is a Privacy Act System of Records (DOI-10). In accordance with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)), the NPS is barred from releasing copies of records contained within IMARS, including but not limited to motor vehicle accident reports, without the prior written request and/or consent of the individual to whom the record pertains unless authorized under appropriate routine-use exceptions.

The purpose of the collection is to enable the NPS to respond to requests made under the FOIA and the Privacy Act of 1974 by locating applicable law enforcement case incident reports responsive to the request. The NPS uses Form 10-945, "Certification of Identity and Consent" to collect the information necessary to verify the identity of first-party requesters and to document when they authorize the NPS to release their information to a third party. Failure to provide the required information may result in the NPS being unable to take any action on the request. The form collects the following information to verify the identity of the requester:

• Full name of the requester

• Case number

• Current address

• Date of birth

• Place of birth

Title of Collection: Certification of Identity and Consent Form.

OMB Control Number: 1024-0280.

Form Number: NPS Form 10-945.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals requesting copies of law enforcement case incident reports maintained within the Department of Interior's IMARS.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 2,000.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,000.

Estimated Completion Time per Response: 3 minutes.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 100.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.

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.

The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ).

Phadrea Ponds,

Information Collection Clearance Officer, National Park Service.
