SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies with 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. 

We published a Federal Register 

notice with a 60-day public comment 

period soliciting comments on this 

collection of information on May 11, 

2018 (83 FR 22097). We received one 

public comment in response to this 

notice. This public comment 

represented the consolidate feedback for 

130 Service and Conservation Crops. 

Here are specific comments and our 

responses to the comments: 

Comment: Is the collection necessary 

to the proper functions of the Office of 

the Secretary, Department of the 

Interior? While information on our 

partnerships is important, we believe 

data around project accomplishments, 

outcomes, funding, and number of 

Corpsmembers engaged etc. is already 

covered through reporting to one of the 

DOI units, states, regions, or national 

DOI bureau offices and could be 

compiled through existing information 

sources. If this is the level of 

information envisioned through the 

Partnerships Module, we encourage DOI 

to examine internal processes and 

existing information collection that 

could be streamlined or revised to 

provide this data. We hope other 

Federal land management agencies will 

adopt this same approach of a unified 

data collection system by utilizing this 

new system DOI is developing, and also 

examine existing internal data sources 

before requiring new information 

collection and reporting which may be 

duplicative. 

Answer: This is a valid point and DOI 

does establish with this collection a 

single system of record as mandatory. 

Furthermore, modernization of portal 

technology will allow for importing, 

exporting and sharing by internal 

sources before validation and use by 

external partners. Additionally, DOI 

will offer this portal as a shared service 

to other federal agencies so end user/ 

respondents input will be not 

duplicative and redundant for same 

purposes. 

Comment: With respect to the 

Stewards Engagement Portal, we 

support an electronic and uniform 

system to collect information to 

determine eligibility for NCE. Presently, 

different DOI bureaus have different 

rules around qualifying for PLC NCE, 

making it confusing for our Corps and 

even more so for our Corpsmembers. 

The ability to upload information once, 

toward the end of a term of service, 

would be important to minimize the 

time burden. 

As to the desire to collect from PLC 

Corpsmembers ‘‘agency work for, 

partner organization, project dates, 

where the work was completed, and 

total hours worked on the specific 

project,’’ it would be useful to have a 

profile for each partner organization and 

Corpsmember on the new system that 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
43894 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 28, 2018 / Notices 

can be matched and sorted. NCE 

qualification can be organized that way 

as well as different Corpsmember 

contributions to different partner 

organizations. For example, 

Corpsmembers may serve with different 

Corps, on different projects, and with 

different project partners during their 

terms of service. 

As to Corpsmembers providing 

‘‘qualifying factors and training’’ when 

developing a profile, we would urge 

further clarification and standardization 

around what those may be, as unclear 

definitions could hurt recruitment and 

placement of individuals with the 

wrong opportunities. In addition, it may 

be challenging to leave it up to 

Corpsmembers or the public to 

determine their qualifying factors, 

training, and skill sets for certain 

projects or programs that Corps offer. 

Our Corps use their own recruiting, 

training, and screening processes to hire 

Corpsmembers and meet project 

partner’s goals. Our Corps are liable for 

meeting the goals of a project agreement 

and for the safety of Corpsmembers and 

the public, so we should maintain an 

ability to screen and train 

Corpsmembers as necessary. 

Answer: DOI youth program managers 

have met and agreed to standardize the 

collection for NEC data and 

opportunities across the bureaus. 

Additionally, we will provide a 

template to provide data files for 

uploading information into the system 

at the end of service terms. Initially, we 

will import, and update annually, all 

partner organization information. We 

will work with Corps Network to 

identify best methods to have project 

information validated and matched to 

work projects and individuals. We have 

made a commitment to use the Corps 

Network for testing imports and process 

before final launch of on portal. 

Comments: (2) Will this information 

be processed and used in a timely 

manner? 

Collection of information around 

accomplishments of partner 

organizations, and hours for NCE, 

housed electronically in one system will 

help with timeliness of compilation and 

utilization of this data. At the same 

time, if Corps are still required to report 

to the various DOI units, states, regions, 

and nationally and report through this 

new system, it will slow down the 

process and create an additional burden. 

Data is only as good as the inputs, so 

ensuring uniform definitions and 

categories for collection across DOI, and 

other federal partners utilizing this 

system, will be critical and will ease 

processing and use of data. 

Answer: DOI will only have one 

system of record and all units will be 

required to use a single system upon 

deployment of the portal. This system 

will have a standard data dictionary and 

common data elements. We will publish 

a detail user manual for all using the 

system for ease processing and entering 

the data. 

Comments: (3) Is the estimate of 

burden accurate? 

Given the different features 

envisioned through the new online 

portal system it is difficult for us to 

estimate the hour’s burden. If DOI 

internally utilizes such data, or Corps 

are able to utilize existing information 

already provided to various DOI 

bureaus, the hour’s burden would be 

lower. Additionally, if Corpsmembers 

are able to enter their information for 

NCE one time toward the end of their 

term of service, and Corps themselves 

had the ability to upload Corpsmember 

information if necessary, that would be 

helpful in reducing the burden. 

Answer: We will allow Corps with 

approved accounts or via upload service 

to enter and update Corpsmember 

information as necessary. The burden 

will depend on if members are just 

opting to enter just information for PLC 

or want to share their status with other 

employment programs like an 

apprenticeship that may require 

additional data for placement or 

benefits. 

Comments: (4) How might the Office 

of the Secretary, Department of the 

Interior enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected? 

Again, data is only as good as the 

inputs, so ensuring uniform definitions 

and categories for collection across DOI, 

and other federal partners utilizing this 

system, will be critical, and will ease 

processing and use of data. For example, 

when considering the Partnerships 

Module in the past, DOI defined 

‘‘partner hires’’ based on the number of 

hours a Corpsmember worked through a 

partner organization for a DOI bureau. 

In order to ensure accurate data, 

definitions like this should be 

developed with input from partners, be 

uniform across DOI and projects should 

be tracked for example by partner 

organization, legal authority, dollar 

figure, and project type in order for DOI 

to accurately collect information. It 

should not be the burden of partner 

organizations to track the data though as 

these are DOI accomplishes these 

projects with DOI funding. A uniform 

system for tracking and reporting this 

information across DOI should 

streamline this information collection, 

and/or require a re-examination of 

existing data sources to be uniform 

across DOI. 

On the Stewards Engagement Portal, 

one challenge with the utilization of 

PLC NCE is the inability to represent 

NCE electronically or search for NCEapproved jobs on USA Jobs. Developing 

the ability for Corpsmembers who 

qualify for NCE to have a PLC NCE 

designation on their profile on USA Jobs 

would be helpful, and adding a search 

term for job postings, or some kind of 

PLC NCE signifier or certification would 

also be helpful. An additional 

consideration is that the federal project 

supervisor must certify the hours, and 

sign off on the certificate for NCE. An 

electronic system where project 

sponsors are able to certify the hours, 

and sign a digital certificate would 

eliminate paperwork and delays. 

Answer: Department of the Interior 

will establish a user guide with standard 

definitions so data can be accurate and 

uniform. While we can standardize the 

DOI definitions, we are only able to 

encourage non-DOI partners to consider 

a common data dictionary at this time. 

We agree with the Corps Network that 

recruitment is challenging and by 

expanding the portal to include all skill 

and special employment programs we 

can provide better exposure of 

opportunities to prospective candidates. 

We can also link existing employment 

resources and website to resources page 

on the portal. We are committed to 

working closely with Corps Network on 

recruitment strategies and to explore 

how to expand the use of veterans. 

Comments: (5) How might the Office 

of the Secretary, Department of the 

Interior minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

using information technology? 

Again, we believe that a large amount 

of data is already available through the 

annual reporting our Corps provide to 

individual DOI units, states, regions, or 

the national office and through internal 

DOI bureau data sets and project 

information systems. It may warrant an 

examination of those existing sources 

and their reporting mechanisms to see 

how they can be fed in to this new 

online portal. After an examination of 

existing data sources and collection 

requirements by DOI, if there needs to 

be a new collection of information, we 

encourage there to be some 

thoughtfulness around data 

compatibility, and for batch upload 

ability along with an examination of 

what information is truly necessary to 

demonstrate the impact and outcomes. 

Corps also report outcomes and 

performance measures to the 

Corporation for National and 

Community Service, which administers 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 28, 2018 / Notices 43895 

the AmeriCorps and National Civilian 

Community Corps (NCCC) programs. 

Often, this is duplicative data since the 

AmeriCorps and NCCC members are 

working on federal public lands. Having 

these systems be compatible would 

minimize the reporting burden and 

improve efficiency. 

Answer: We agree that data exist in 

many systems so will continue to 

consolidate and reduce the burden by 

working closely with Corps Network to 

identify these data calls and eliminate 

them where possible or to incorporate 

the data via import and export features 

into one system of record. 

We are again soliciting comments on 

the proposed ICR that is described 

below. We are especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is the collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Office of the Secretary (OS); (2) will this 

information be processed and used in a 

timely manner; (3) is the estimate of 

burden accurate; (4) how might the OS 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(5) how might the OS minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. 

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 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your personal

Abstract: The information collection 

under OMB Control number 1093–0006 

received approval from OMB on August 

04, 2015. This approval will expire on 

August 31, 2018, and we are now 

requesting comments as part of the 

standard renew and update process. 

Previously, we titled this collection as 

‘‘Volunteer Partnership Management.’’ 

We are changing the title with this 

revision to be ‘‘Natural and Cultural 

Resource Agencies Customer 

Relationship Management’’ to more 

accurately reflect the overall purpose of 

the information collection. 

Federal natural and cultural resources 

management agencies are authorized to 

manage volunteers, youth programs, and 

partnerships to recruit, train, and accept 

the services of citizens to aid in disaster 

response, interpretive functions, visitor 

services, conservation measures and 

development, research and 

development, recreation, and or other 

activities as allowed by an agency’s 

policy and regulations. Providing, 

collecting and exchanging written and 

electronic information is required from 

potential and selected program 

participants of all ages so they can 

access opportunities and benefits 

provided by agencies guidelines. Those 

under the age of 18 years must have 

written consent from a parent or 

guardian. 

The customer relationship 

management web based portals are the 

agencies response to meeting citizens’ 

requests for improved digital customer 

services to access and apply for 

engagement opportunities. Secure under 

one security platform parameter, the 

portals provide for prospective and 

current program participants to 

establish an account for electronic 

submission of program applications and 

to obtain status of applications, 

enrollments, benefits, and requirements. 

Additionally, citizens have the option of 

using self-service features to report 

hours, apply for opportunities, or 

register for program benefits such as 

America the Beautiful Pass, Public Land 

Corps register or Service Learning 

verification. This collection includes the 

modernization of electronic process so 

citizens maintain portal accounts with 

single program application that can be 

reused to apply for all interested 

opportunities verse requiring program 

participants to electronically complete 

the application anew for each 

opportunity they wish to be considered. 

This specifically minimizes the burden 

on this collection on the respondents. 

While electronic records provides a 

means to streamline data collection and 

allow citizen access to track benefits 

and control the sharing of their data, the 

participating agencies may also provide 

an accessible paper version of the 

volunteer forms. 

Participating Agencies are: 

Department of Agriculture: U.S. 

Forest Service, and Natural Resources 

Conservation Service; 

Department of the Interior: All DOI 

offices and units including Office of the 

Secretary, National Park Service, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of 

Land Management, Bureau of 

Reclamation, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Office of Surface Mining Reclamation 

and Enforcement, and U.S. Geological 

Survey. 

Department of Defense: U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers; 

Department of Commerce: National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration—Office of National 

Marine Sanctuaries. 

Forms 

OF–301 Volunteer Application: 

Individuals interested in volunteering 

may access the individual agency 

websites, and/or contact agencies to 

request a Volunteer Application (OF– 

301) or complete an on-line application 

submission on volunteer.gov on 

submission. Applicants provide name, 

address, telephone number, date of 

birth, preferred work categories, 

interests, citizenship status, available 

dates, preferred location, indication of 

physical limitations, and lodging 

preferences. Information collected using 

this form on Volunteer.gov assists 

agency volunteer coordinators and other 

personnel in matching volunteers with 

agency opportunities appropriate for an 

applicant’s skills and physical condition 

and availability. A signature of a parent 

or guardian is mandatory for applicants 

under 18 years of age. 

OF–301A Volunteer Service 

Agreement: This form is used by 

participating resource agencies to 

document agreements for volunteer 

services between a Federal agency and 

individual or group volunteers, 

including international volunteers. A 

signature of parent or guardian is 

mandatory for applicants under 18 years 

of age. The agreement form will now be 

available for processing on 

volunteer.gov for the first time, this online this form is generated from the 

application and position description to 

minimize impact to respondents. Paper 

forms and electronic PDF must however 

be completed for each opportunity. 

OF–301B Volunteer Group Sign-up: 

This form is used by participating 

resource agencies to document 

awareness and understanding by 

individuals in groups about the 

volunteer activities between a Federal 

agency and a partner organization with 

group participants. Signature of parent 

or guardian is mandatory for applicants 

under 18 years of age. 

Stewards Engagement Portal (this was 

formally known as the Youth 

Partnership Tracking Portal): This 

portal has a self-registration feature that 

allows program participants from 

volunteer, youth, and partnerships to 

register with information that would be 

used to automate matching stewardship 

opportunities such as apprenticeships, 

youth programs, veterans’ events, and 

other special engagement programs. 

Information required to establish an 

account is preference for location, name, 

email, qualifying factors, and training. 

Once self-registered, the youth and 

young adult programs participants 

authorized under the 16 U.S.C. 1722 et. 

seq., Public Lands Corps (PLC) Act may 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
43896 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 28, 2018 / Notices 

be required to report additional details 

for public land corps status such as the 

agency work for, partner organization, 

project dates, where the work was 

completed, and total hours worked on 

the specific project. This information is 

used by the system to match the 

individuals with most applicable 

opportunities. The steward engagement 

portal is under redesign and will 

incorporate a feedback loop for 

respondents to rate quality of customer 

service and opportunities. 

The Partnerships Module collects 

information from various partnership 

and volunteer organizations which are 

under national agreements to manage 

services and programs on public lands 

for citizens and provides an annual 

summary of their activities. 

The Cooperating Association Module 

collects information from not-for-profit 

public lands partners under national 

agreements to manage bookstores and 

sales items with federal agencies. 

This request for comments on the 

information collection is being 

published by the Office of the Secretary, 

Department of the Interior and includes 

the use of common forms that can be 

leveraged by other Federal agencies. The 

burden estimates reflected in this notice 

is only for the Department of the 

Interior. Other Federal agencies wishing 

to use the common forms must submit 

their own burden estimates and provide 

notice to the public accordingly.
