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 

September 12, 2022 (87 FR 55848). 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

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: Authorized by Executive 

Order 10450, the Homeland Security 

Presidential Directive (HSPD–12), 

regulations mandated by the U.S. Office 

of Personnel Management OPM, and the 

Department of the Interior (DOI), the 

National Park Service (NPS) collects 

information from all applicants for 

Federal employment and non-Federal 

personnel requiring access to NPS 

property. 

The NPS uses Form 10–152, 

‘‘Background Clearance Initiation 

Request’’ to collect information from all 

applicants to determine their suitability 

to receive DOI credentials. The National 

Background Investigation Services 

(NBIS) Electronic Application (eApp) 

System, is used to create accounts 

necessary to initiate background 

investigations for all individuals 

requiring access to NPS property and/or 

to receive a DOIAccess Personal 

Identification Verification (PIV) badge. 

The information collected is protected 

by the Privacy Act and maintained in a 

secure system of records Interior/DOI– 

45, ‘‘HSPD–12: Identity Management 

System and Personnel Security Files,’’ 

86 FR 50156; September 7, 2021). 

With this renewal, we’re proposing to 

update the name of the form from 

National Park Service Background 

Clearance Initiation Request to National 

Park Service Investigation/Background 

Clearance Initiation Request. Adding 

‘‘Investigation’’ to the form clarifies the 

purpose and intent of the form. We’ve 

made modifications to two of the fields, 

expanding on the response options to 

clarify the different non-federal 

affiliations for fields in DOI Access and 

also based on the changes in the vetting 

model. We’ve added four new fields 

based on the new administrative 

requirements and due to the feedback 

received during the voluntary outreach 

exercise.

Service Background Investigation/

[Docket No. DEA–1051M] 

Adjustment to the Aggregate 

Production Quota for Methylphenidate 

(for Sale) for 2023 

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement 

Administration, Department of Justice. 

ACTION: Final order. 

SUMMARY: The Drug Enforcement 

Administration is adjusting the 2023 

aggregate production quota for the 

schedule II controlled substance 

methylphenidate (for sale). 

DATES: This final order is effective 

October 3, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Scott A. Brinks, Regulatory Drafting and 

Policy Support Section, Diversion 

Control Division, Drug Enforcement 

Administration, Telephone: (571) 776– 

3882. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Legal Authority 

Section 306 of the Controlled 

Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826) 

requires the Attorney General to 

establish aggregate production quotas 

(APQ) for each basic class of controlled 

substance listed in schedule I and II. 

The Attorney General has delegated this 

function to the Administrator of the 

Drug Enforcement Administration 

(DEA) pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100. 

Under 21 U.S.C. 826(h), when a 

request for individual manufacturing 

quota is submitted by a DEA-registered 

manufacturer pertaining to a schedule II 

controlled substance that is contained in 

a drug on FDA’s list of drugs in 

shortage, DEA must complete review of 

such request not later than 30 days after 

receipt of the request. If, after the review 

is completed, DEA finds it necessary to 

address a shortage of that controlled 

substance, DEA is to increase the 

aggregate and individual production 

quotas of that controlled substance and 

any ingredient therein to the level 

requested. 21 U.S.C. 826(h)(1)(B)(i). 

However, if it is determined that the 

level requested is not necessary to 

address the shortage, DEA is to provide 

a written response detailing the basis for 

the determination. 21 U.S.C. 

826(h)(1)(B)(ii). 

Background 

DEA published the 2023 established 

APQ for controlled substances in 

schedules I and II in the Federal 

Register on December 2, 2022. 87 FR 

74168. The 2023 established APQ 

represents those quantities of schedule 

I and II controlled substances that may 

be manufactured in the United States to 

provide for the estimated medical, 

scientific, research, and industrial needs 

of the United States, for lawful export 

requirements, and for the establishment 

and maintenance of reserve stocks. 

These quotas do not include imports of 

controlled substances for use in 

industrial processes. The final order 

stipulated that all APQ are subject to an 

adjustment, in accordance with 21 CFR 

1303.15.1

Quotas Applicable to Drugs in Shortage 

Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 826(h) 

DEA received written correspondence 

from FDA on August 10, 2023, in 

accordance with 21 U.S.C. 356c, 

addressing the domestic drug shortage
