Section 890(b) of the Federal 

Agriculture Improvement and Reform 

Act of 1996, Public Law 104–127 (1996 

Act), expanded the authorities of the 

Secretary of Agriculture to charge 

reasonable fees for the use of USNA 

facilities and grounds. These authorities 

include the ability to charge fees for 

temporary use by individuals or groups 

of USNA facilities and grounds in 

furtherance of the mission of the USNA. 

Also, authority was provided to charge 

fees for tram tours and for the use of the 

USNA for commercial photography and 

cinematography. All rules and 

regulations noted in 7 CFR part 500, 

subpart 2A, conducted on the USNA 

property will apply to individuals or 

groups granted approval to use the 

facilities and grounds. In order to 

administer the use of the USNA 

facilities and to determine if the 

requested use is consistent with the 

mission of the USNA, it is necessary for 

the USNA to obtain information from 

the requestor. Each request will require 

the completion of an application and 

submission of an application fee. The 

application is simple and requires only 

information readily available to the 

requestor. The requestor is asked to 

indicate by whom and for what purpose 

the USNA facilities are to be used. 

Applications are available in hard copy 

format as well as electronic format (PDF 

fillable) on the USNA Web site 

www.usna.usda.gov. Completed permit 

requests are received in person, by mail, 

and by facsimile. 

Paperwork Reduction Act: In 

accordance with the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

regulations (5 CFR part 1320) 

implementing the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the 

information collection and 

recordkeeping requirements that will be 

imposed will be submitted to OMB for 

approval. These requirements will not 

become effective prior to OMB approval. 

Estimate of Burden: 

Estimated Number of Responses: The 

USNA estimates 230 requests for the use 

of facilities, 54 for photography and 

cinematography and 1,606 educational 

programs and workshops on an annual 

basis. 

Estimate of Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: The total cost for 

responding is $7,250 for 305 hours of 

time at $23.77 per hour. 

Obtaining Permit Requests: In 

addition to the current process of 

obtaining the permit requests in person, 

by mail, and by facsimile (and receiving 

them back in a like manner), the 

application for photography and 

cinematography is available on the 

USNA Web site: www.usna.usda.gov/

Information/facilities/

photographyapp.pdf. 

The PDF fillable application for the 

use of facilities is available on the Web 

site and can be submitted electronically 

to USNA. Completed hard copies of 

permit requests can be submitted to the 

Administrative Office, USDA, ARS, U.S. 

National Arboretum, 3501 New York 

Avenue NE., Washington, DC 20002. 

Comments: Comments are invited on 

whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of collection on those who are 

to respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technology.
