SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

require approval under the PRA. We may not conduct, or sponsor and you 
are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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 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. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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 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.
    Abstract: The African American Civil Rights Network (AACRN or 
Network) was created with the passage of the African American Civil 
Rights Network Act of 2017 (Pub. L. 115-104) to recognize the 
importance of the African American Civil Rights movement and the 
sacrifices made by the people who fought against discrimination and 
segregation. The National Park Service (NPS), is authorized to 
coordinate and facilitate federal and non-federal activities to 
commemorate, honor, and interpret the history of the African American 
civil rights movement from 1939 through 1968. The activities must have 
a direct and verifiable connection to the African American Civil Rights 
movement. Sites, facilities, programs, or properties applying for 
inclusion must complete and submit the AACRN application to nominate 
properties, facilities, and programs to the Network. The NPS will use 
the application to determine eligibility based upon clear, convincing, 
and well-documented evidence of historical association to the African 
American civil rights movement. The purpose of this request is for 
approval of an electronic fillable-fileable AACRN application. 
Fillable-fileable forms will have pre-populated responses that will 
eliminate guesswork, improve accuracy, and reduce respondent burden. 
The on-line submission process to nominate properties and programs will 
allow faster completion and processing times. Submissions will be 
available in real-time allowing program administrators direct access as 
needed.
