SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

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 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.

Abstract: Each year, more than 7,000 visitors to the various units of the National Park System file reports of lost or found items. Reporting of lost or found personal property in national parks is governed by 36 CFR 2.22, "Disposition of Property," which requires unattended property be impounded and deemed to be abandoned unless claimed by the owner or an authorized representative within 60 days. The 60-day period starts upon notification to the rightful owner of the property, if the owner can be identified; or from the time the property was placed in the superintendent's custody, if the owner cannot be identified.

Unclaimed property must be stored for a minimum period of 60 days. If the item is not claimed by the owner or an authorized representative with in the 60-day period, the property may be claimed by the finder, provided the finder is not an employee of the NPS. Found property not claimed by the owner, an authorized representative of the owner, or the finder, shall be deemed abandoned and disposed of in accordance with title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

In order to comply with the requirements of 36 CFR 2.22, the Form 10-166, "Lost-Found Report," is used by the park to identify personal property reported as lost or found and to return found items to the legitimate owner, or to the finder if the item is not claimed by the owner or their authorized representative.

• Park name, receiving station (if appropriate), and date item was lost or found.

• Name, address, city, state, zip code, email address, and contact phone numbers (cell and home).

• Type of item, detailed description of item, and location where the item was last seen or found.

• Photograph of item (if available).
