SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 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.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
June 28, 2024 (89 FR 54036). 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 
issues:
    (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: Under the Lower Mississippi Delta Initiatives (LMDI) 
(Pub. L. 103-433, title XI), the Secretary of the Interior is 
authorized to award grants to qualified Tribal, governmental, and non-
governmental entities and individuals. The purpose of these grants is 
to help preserve regional culture and history and enhance educational 
and recreational opportunities for delta residents. Also, under LMDI, 
the Secretary is authorized to award grants and provide other types of 
technical and financial assistance to conserve and protect historic and 
archeological sites and structures in the delta region. The Secretary 
delegated these authorities to NPS.
    To support grant applications, NPS requests OMB approve the 
following collections: 10-2020 LMDI Local Heritage Grants Application, 
and 10-2020A LMDI Budget and Funding Form. Both will be used by the NPS 
and Jefferson National Parks Association (JNPA) to determine 
eligibility. Grant recipients will be required to submit a midway and 
annual report.
