visitor experience in the Traditional 

Recreation Subzone. The study includes 

two questionnaires. The first will be 

administered to a representative sample 

of OSV users in the Traditional 

Recreation Subzone; the second will be 

given to a representative sample of nonOSV users in the Subzone. 

1. Survey OSV Permit Holders Utilizing 

the Traditional Recreation Subzone 

A randomly selected group of current 

OSV permit holders will receive a 

mailback questionnaire, with an option 

to complete the survey on-line using a 

unique identification code. The survey 

includes questions about OSV users’ 

demographics; the frequency, patterns, 

and type of OSV use; factors influencing 

the quality of visitor experiences; and 

attitudes toward current and potential 

OSV management and resource 

protection practices. This research is 

proposed for the summer and fall of 

2010. 

2. Survey Backcountry Users of the 

Traditional Recreation Subzone 

A randomly selected group of visitors 

issued backcountry camping permits in 

2009 will receive a mailback 

questionnaire, with an option to 

complete the survey on-line using a 

unique identification code. The survey 

will include questions similar to those 

in the OSV questionnaire, but specific to 

backcountry camping experiences. This 

survey also is proposed for summer and 

fall of 2010. 

Automated data collection: This 

information will be collected via 

mailback surveys distributed through 

U.S. Postal Service mail. Participants 

also will be given the opportunity to 

respond to the survey on-line by using 

a unique identification code and 

password. 

Description of respondents: Current 

OSV permit holders and current 

backcountry permit holders at 

Assateague Island National Seashore. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

500 OSV permit holders (350 

respondents and 150 non-respondents); 

330 backcountry permit holders (230 

respondents and 130 non-respondents); 

40 non-respondents contacted for a 

short non-respondent survey. 

Estimated average burden hours per 

response: 3 minutes for initial contact; 

15 minutes for OSV survey; 10 minutes 

for backcountry survey; 5 minutes for 

non-respondent survey. 

Frequency of Response: 1 time per 

respondent. 

Estimated annual reporting burden: 

171 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (1) The 

practical utility of the information being 

gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden 

hour estimate; and (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information being gathered. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

e-mail 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 OMB in your 

comment to withhold your personal 

identifying information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: The Interagency Access Pass 

Application Process. 

Bureau Form Number: None. 

OMB Number: 1024–0252. 

Expiration Date: February 28, 2011. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection with a 

revision. 

Description of Need: The currently 

approved information collection 

responds to the Federal Lands 

Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) 

which requires the Secretary of 

Agriculture and the Secretary of the 

Interior to make the America the 

Beautiful—The National Parks and 

Federal Recreational Lands Pass 

available, for free, to any United States 

citizen or person domiciled in the 

United States who has been medically 

determined to be permanently disabled 

for purposes of Section 7(20)(B)(i) of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 

705 (20)(B)(i)). The Act further requires 

that the applicant provide adequate 

proof of the disability and such 

citizenship or residency. The Act 

specifies that the Pass shall be valid for 

the lifetime of the pass holder. The 

America the Beautiful—The National 

Parks and Federal Recreational Lands 

Access Pass (Interagency Access Pass) 

was created to meet the requirements of 

the FLREA. An Interagency Access Pass 

is a free, lifetime permit that is issued 

without charge by the Bureau of Land 

Management, Bureau of Reclamation, 

United States Fish and Wildlife Service, 

United States Forest Service, and the 

National Park Service to citizens or 

persons who are domiciled (permanent 

residents) in the United States, 

regardless of age, and who have a 

medical determination and 

documentation of permanent disability. 

Furthermore, the Pass is to be nontransferable and entitles the permittee 

and any person accompanying him/her 

in a single, private, non-commercial 

vehicle, or alternatively, the permittee 

and 3 adults to enter with him/her 

where entry to the area is by any means 

other than private, non-commercial 

vehicle. The Pass must be signed by the 

holder. 

In order to issue the Interagency 

Access Pass only to persons who have 

been medically determined to be 

permanently disabled, in accordance 

with the FLREA and in order to clarify, 

simplify, and to provide uniform 

guidance for the public on the process 

for obtaining the Interagency Access 

Pass, the Secretaries of Agriculture and 

of the Interior established eligibility and 

required documentation guidelines for 

issuing the Interagency Access Pass and 

published them within the America the 

Beautiful—The National Parks and 

Federal Recreational Lands Pass 

Standard Operating Procedures. The 

current procedures require the 

individual to appear in person and sign 

the Pass in the presence of the issuing 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 9, 2010 / Notices 32811 

agency officer. Acceptable 

documentation to verify that the 

individual had been medically 

determined to have a permanent 

disability has been identified and 

includes: 

A statement signed by a licensed 

physician attesting that the applicant 

has a permanent physical, mental, or 

sensory impairment that substantially 

limits one or more major life activities, 

and stating the nature of the 

impairment; or 

A document issued by a Federal 

agency, such as the Veteran’s 

Administration, which attests that the 

applicant has been medically 

determined to be eligible to receive 

Federal benefits as a result of blindness 

or permanent disability. Other 

acceptable Federal agency documents 

include proof of receipt of Social 

Security Disability Income (SSDI) or 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI); or 

A document issued by a State agency 

such as the vocational rehabilitation 

agency, which attests that the applicant 

has been medically determined to be 

eligible to receive vocational 

rehabilitation agency benefits or 

services as a result of medically 

determined blindness or permanent 

disability. Showing a State motor 

vehicle department disability sticker, 

license plate or hang tag is not 

acceptable documentation. 

Information available to the general 

public through agency Web sites and 

publications will inform potential Pass 

applicants of the documentation 

requirements. However, there are 

instances where applicants learn about 

the Pass when arriving at a recreation 

site and do not have the required 

documentation available. For those 

instances, a fourth option is made 

available at recreation sites. If a person 

claims eligibility for the Access Pass but 

cannot produce any of the 

documentation outlined, that person 

must read, sign, and date the Statement 

of Disability Form in the presence of the 

officer issuing the Pass. If the applicant 

cannot read and/or sign, someone else 

may read, date, and sign the statement 

on his/her behalf in the applicant’s 

presence, and in the presence of the 

officer issuing the Pass. The requested 

information and Statement of Disability 

have been collected and used since the 

creation of the Golden Access Passport 

in 1980 to verify that the individual had 

been medically determined to have a 

permanent disability for the issuance of 

the Golden Access Passport under OMB 

control number 0596–0173, under the 

authority of the Land and Water 

Conservation Fund Act. 

This information collection is being 

revised in two ways. First, Interagency 

Access Passes will also be available 

through the mail by completing an 

application and sending in a photo copy 

of identification verifying U.S. 

residency or citizenship and 

documentation of disability as outlined 

above. 

The second revision is to create a 

process by which a person can obtain an 

America the Beautiful—the National 

Parks and Federal Recreational Lands 

Senior Pass through the mail. 

The FLREA requires the Secretary of 

Agriculture and the Secretary of the 

Interior to make the America the 

Beautiful—The National Parks and 

Federal Recreational Lands Pass 

available for $10 to any United States 

citizen or person domiciled in the 

United States 62 years of age or older. 

The Act further requires that the 

applicant provide adequate proof of age 

and such citizenship or residency. The 

Act specifies that the Pass shall be valid 

for the lifetime of the pass holder. The 

Pass is to be non-transferable and 

entitles the permittee and any person 

accompanying him/her in a single, 

private, non-commercial vehicle, or 

alternatively, the permittee and 3 adults 

to enter with him/her where entry to the 

area is by any means other than private, 

non-commercial vehicle. The Pass must 

be signed by the holder. The America 

the Beautiful—The National Parks and 

Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass 

(Interagency Senior Pass) was created to 

meet the requirements of the FLREA. 

The Interagency Senior Pass is 

currently only issued in person at 

Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of 

Reclamation, United States Fish and 

Wildlife Service, United States Forest 

Service, and the National Park Service 

recreation sites. To obtain a Pass, in 

accordance with the FLREA, applicants 

must show identification verifying age 

and citizenship or residency to the 

issuing official. Interagency Senior 

Passes will now also be available 

through the mail by completing an 

application and sending a photo copy of 

identification verifying age and U.S. 

residency or citizenship. Any and all 

information collected will be used 

solely to verify eligibility for a pass. 

Description of respondents: United 

States citizens or persons domiciled in 

the United States who have been 

medically determined to be 

permanently disabled for the purposes 

of Section 7(20)(B)(i) of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 

705 (20)(B)(i)) and United States citizens 

or persons domiciled in the United 

States who are 62 years old or older and 

wish to acquire an America the 

Beautiful—The National Parks and 

Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass 

through the mail. 

Estimated average number of 

respondents: 69,730 Interagency Access 

Pass in person applicants, 3,670 mail 

applicants. 27,500 Interagency Senior 

Pass mail applicants. 

Estimated average number of 

responses: 100,900 per year. 

Estimated average time burden per 

response: 5 minutes in person, 10 

minutes by mail. 

Frequency of response: once per 

respondent. 

Estimated total annual reporting 

burden: 11,006 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (1) The 

practical utility of the information being 

gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden 

hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information being collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden to 

respondents, including use of 

automated information collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail 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
