    Abstract: The NPS requests comments on an application form that 
allows the Park Programs Division of National Mall and Memorial Parks 
to process requests from individual and organizations to hold public 
gatherings on NPS property. These public gatherings consist of special 
events and demonstrations that the NPS is charged with regulating to 
insure protection of cultural and natural resources within NPS 
property. The NPS will use the information you submit to determine 
whether or not to make modifications to the application form. Once the 
NPS makes any modifications that it may decide to adopt, the NPS plans 
to submit a proposed collection of information package to OMB with a 
request that OMB approve the package and reinstate the OMB clearance 
number. The information collection responds to the statutory 
requirements that the NPS preserve park resources and regulate the use 
of units of the National Park System. The information to be collected 
identifies: (1) Those individuals and/or organizations that wish to 
conduct a public gathering on NPS property in the National Capital 
Region, (2) the logistics of a proposed demonstration or special event 
that aid the NPS in regulation activities to insure that they are 
consistent with the NPS mission, (3) potential civil disobedience and 
traffic control issues for the assignment of United States Park Police 
personnel, (4) circumstances which may warrant to be assigned to the 
event for the purpose of covering potential cost to repair damage 
caused by the event. You may obtain copies of the application from the 
source listed below (see the ``send comments to'' section) http://www.nps.gov/nama/planyourvisit/permits.htm.
    Description of respondents: Respondents are those individuals or 
organizations that wish to conduct a

estimate; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information being collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden to
