Comments Received on the 60-Day 

Federal Register Notice: On March 8, 

2007, the NPS published a notice in the 

Federal Register to solicit comments on 

the proposed ICR to extend three 

existing NPS information collection 

instruments that are processed by the 

existing, Internet-based Research Permit 

and Reporting System (see 72 FR: 

10553–10554). NPS also contacted by email 3,588 non-Federal and Federal 

permittees and permit applicants who 

were active in calendar years 2006 and 

2007, posted on the RPRS Web site 

notice of the availability of this review 

opportunity, and sent an internal 

memorandum to the NPS Natural 

Resource Advisory Group to solicit 

comments from the members of that 

group. 

NPS received 13 responses from the 

public in response to the Federal 

Register notice and subsequent e-mail 

messages requesting comments. These 

responses provided a diversity of 

thoughts, which included (1) the 

requested information and time needed 

to fill out the forms are reasonable; (2) 

the on-line application process is 

efficient and straight forward; (3) the 

forms and the ability to access on-line 

and report on-line make the application 

and compliance process very easy; (4) 

the park review and decision process is 

difficult and onerous; (5) too much 

documentation is required; (6) having 

each park make its own permit decision 

is unnecessarily piecemeal, arbitrary, 

and burdensome; and (7) it is difficult 

to figure out how to submit ‘‘things’’. 

Five respondents specifically addressed 

the education application and permit, 

saying that it would have benefits or

offering ideas about what types of 

education activities should receive 

specific types of consideration, such as 

(a) simplifying the application process, 

(b) how to treat specimen collections, (c) 

allowing for different treatment for 

different types of activities, (d) offering 

the ability to change the program leader 

without reissuing a permit, and (e) 

offering a fee waiver for permitted 

education activities. Several 

respondents discussed matters outside 

this request for review, including (1) 

urging NPS to change its collection 

ownership procedure; and (2) requesting 

the NPS to issue permits on a Service, 

rather than park, basis. 

Actual NPS and researcher use of the 

Internet-based system over the past 

three years has yielded few complaints 

and has earned a number of kudos. This 

use also has yielded suggestions from 

both respondents and government 

employees for making the information 

collection forms or software more 

efficient or more usable. These 

suggestions have been accumulated and 

some have been incorporated through 

ongoing software and technical support 

improvements. Such receipt of, and 

action on, user suggestions, constitutes 

ongoing consultation with people 

(applicants and permittees) from whom 

information is being collected and by 

whom collected information is being 

applied (NPS) personnel and users of 

the Investigator’s Annual Report site). 

Should OMB approve the collection of 

information forms submitted in this 

extension request, additional software 

changes will be made to incorporate 

fully the improvements contained in 

these forms. 

If you comment to NPS via electronic 

mail, please submit your comments as 

an attached ASCII or MSWord file and 

avoid the use of special characters and 

any form of encryption. Please also 

include ‘‘Attn: NPS Research Permit and 

Reporting System’’ and your name and 

return address in your e-mail message. 

If you would like, but do not receive, a 

confirmation from the system that we 

have received your e-mail message, 

contact us directly at the NPS phone 

number given here. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Research Permit and Reporting 

System Collection of Information 

(Application for a Scientific Research 

and Collecting Permit; Application for a 

Science Education Permit; Investigator’s 

Annual Report) (re: 36 CFR 2.1 and 2.5). 

Bureau Form Number(s): Application 

for a Scientific Research and Collecting 

Permit: 10–741a; Application for a 

Science Education Permit: 10–741b; 

Investigator’s Annual Report: 10–226. 

OMB Number: 1024–0236. 

Expiration Date: June 30, 2007. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection of 

information. 

Description of Need: The NPS 

regulates scientific research and 

collecting studies and science education 

activities inside park boundaries under 

regulations codified at 36 CFR Part 2, 

Section 2.5. The NPS issued these 

regulations pursuant to authority under 

the NPS Organic Act 1916 as amended 

(16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.). The NPS 

administers these regulations to provide 

for scientific research and collecting and 

scientific education uses of parks 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. 

Frequency of collection: On occasion. 

Description of respondents: 

Individual scientific investigators or 

science educators from other 

governmental agencies, universities and 

colleges, schools, research 

organizations, and science education 

organizations who apply for a permit 

and any members of this group who 

receive a permit and then must submit 

the required annual report of 

accomplishment. 

Estimated average number of 

respondents: 6,500 per year. 

Estimated average number of 

responses: Two responses per year per 

respondent for an annual total of 13,000 

responses. For each permit cycle, each 

respondent will respond usually once to 

prepare and submit the application for 

a permit and respondents who are 

successful in being issued a permit will 

respond a second time to submit the 

required investigator’s Annual Report. 

Given that most applicants are 

successful in being issued a permit and 

that permit renewal usually occurs 

annually, the number of responses will 

approach a total that is two times the 

number of respondents. 

Estimated average time burden per 

respondent: NPS estimates the reporting 

burden for this collection of 

information, including both the relevant 

application and the annual report, will 

average 1.625 hours per respondent per 

year. 

Frequency of response: 2 per 

respondent per year. 

Estimated total annual reporting 

burden: 10,560 hours. This number 

assumes 6,500 respondents each take 

about 0.75 hours to complete the 

automated application form (including 

reading the guidance material), up to 

6,500 successful applicants each take 

0.25 hours to sign the issued permit and 

return it to the park, and up to 6,500 

permittees each take 0.25 hours to 

complete the automated Investigator’s 

Annual Report form, including reading 

the instructions. In addition, this 

number includes 0.25 hours each for 

approximately 1,500 respondents to 

copy and process documents that 

cannot be submitted electronically, and 

0.5 hours each for up to 1,500 

respondents to prepare the portion of 

the Application for a Scientific Research 

and Collecting Permit that requires 

coordination with one or more non-NPS 

museums or other specimen 

repositories. Those few applicants who 

will be unable to process their 

applications and report forms 

electronically likely will spend a longer 

amount of time completing each form 

manually. 

Comments are invited on: (1) The 

practical utility of the information being 

gathered; (2) the validity and accuracy 

of the reporting burden hour estimate; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden to respondents, including use of 

automated information collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail 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.
