Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

23,750. 

Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden 

Cost: None. 

Abstract: The Backcountry Use Permit 

(Form 10–404A) is used to implement a 

backcountry reservation system and 

provide access into backcountry zones 

where registration is required or limits 

are imposed in accordance with 

regulations. Such permitting enhances 

the ability of the NPS to issue hazard 

warnings, to conduct search and rescue 

efforts, and to provide resource 

protection. 

The objectives of the permit system 

are to ensure: (1) Requests by 

backcountry users are evaluated by park 

managers in accordance with applicable 

statutes and NPS regulations; (2) use of 

consistent standards and permitting 

criteria throughout the agency; and (3) 

to the extent possible, use of a single 

permitting document. 

Comments: On July 19, 2010, we

Abstract: The NPS regulates scientific 

research, studies and science education 

activities inside park boundaries under 

regulations codified at 36 CFR Part 2, 

Section 2.5. The NPS administers these 

regulations to provide for scientific 

research while also protecting park 

resources and other park uses from 

adverse impacts that could occur if 

inappropriate scientific research and 

collecting studies or science education 

activities were to be conducted within 

park boundaries. 

NPS uses the collected information 

for managing the use and preservation 

of park resources and for reporting to 

the public the status of permitted 

research and collecting activities. NPS is 

requesting that OMB renew its approval 

of the current Application for a 

Scientific Research and Collecting 

Permit, Application for a Science 

Education Permit, and Investigator’s 

Annual Report collection of information 

forms. 

Comments: On July 21, 2010, we 

published in the Federal Register (75 

FR 42459) a notice of our intent to 

request that OMB renew this 

information collection. In that notice, 

we solicited comments for 60 days, 

ending on September 20, 2010. NPS 

received one comment on this notice. 

The one comment stated that the 

commenter has ‘‘no problems with the 

current permitting system for full-scale 

research projects in the National Parks. 

However, I would like to recommend a 

simplified and rapid permitting process

for limited and targeted collecting of 

arthropods.’’ NPS found that this 

comment did not indicate any clear 

reasons for changing any of the three 

forms. 

We again invite comments concerning 

this information collection on: 

• Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; 

• The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
