Abstract: Authorized by the NPS 

Organic Act of 1916, 54 U.S.C. 100101 

et seq., the NPS has broad authority to 

regulate the use of the park areas under 

its jurisdiction. Consistent with the 

Organic Act, as well as the 

Constitution’s Establishment Clause 

which mandates government neutrality 

and allows the placement of holiday 

secular and religious displays, the 

National Christmas Tree Music 

Program’s holiday musical 

entertainment may include both holiday 

secular and religious music. To ensure 

that any proposed music selection is 

consistent with the Establishment 

Clause, and presented in a prudent and 

objective manner as a traditional part of 

the culture and heritage of this annual 

holiday event, it must be approved in 

advance by the NPS. 

The NPS National Christmas Tree 

Music Program at President’s Park is 

intended to provide musical 

entertainment for park visitors during 

December on the Ellipse, where in 

celebration of the holiday season, 

visitors can observe the National 

Christmas Tree, visit assorted yuletide 

displays, and attend musical 

presentations. Each year, park officials 

accept applications from musical groups 

who wish to participate in the annual 

National Christmas Tree Program. The 

NPS uses Form 10–942, ‘‘National 

Christmas Tree Music Program 

Application’’ to accept applications 

from the public for participation in the 

program. The form collects the 

following information: 

• Contact name, phone number, and 

email 

• Group name and location (city, state) 

• Preferred performance dates and 

times 

• Music selections/song list 

• Equipment needs 

• Number of performers 

• Type of group (choir, etc.)

entertainment policy

collected to select, plan, schedule, and 

contact performers for the National 

Christmas Tree Program.

Abstract: The Organic Act of 1916 

(NPS Organic Act) (54 U.S.C. 100101) 

authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 

to develop regulations for units of the 

national park system (System units) 

under the Department’s jurisdiction. 

The Mining in the Parks Act (54 U.S.C. 

100731 et seq.) directs the Secretary of 

the Interior to regulate all operations in 

System units in connection with the 

exercise of mineral rights on patented 

and unpatented mining claims. 

The regulations codified in 36 CFR 

part 9, subparts A and B, ensure that 

mining and non-Federal oil and gas 

activities in System units are conducted 

in a manner consistent with conserving 

each System unit for the benefit of 

present and future generations. The 

information required by subpart A 

identifies the claim, claimant, and 

operator (the claimant and operator are 

often the same) and details how the 

operator intends to access and develop 

the minerals associated with the claim. 

It also identifies the steps the operator 

intends to take to minimize any adverse 

impacts of the mining operations on 

park resource and values. No 

information, except claim ownership 

information, is submitted unless the 

claimant wishes to conduct mining 

operations. The information required by 

subpart B identifies the owner and 

operator (the owner and operator are 

often the same) and details how the 

operator intends to access and develop 

the oil and gas rights. It also identifies 

the steps the operator intends to take to 

minimize any adverse impacts on park 

resources and values. No information is 

submitted unless the owner wishes to 

conduct oil and gas operations. The 

information collected is used to evaluate 

proposed operations, ensure that all 

necessary mitigation measures are 

employed to protect park resources and 

values, and ensure compliance with all 

applicable laws and regulations. 

Title of Collection: Mining and 

Mining Claims and Non-Federal Oil and 

Gas Rights, 36 CFR part 9, subparts A 

and B. 

OMB Control Number: 1024–0064. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Businesses. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: None.
