SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NPS Common Learning Portal (CLP) will serve as a common 
location for advertising national, regional, and park specific training 
events to NPS employees. The CLP is focused on increasing the 
visibility of training available to NPS employees and is also making 
the site available to the public to allow NPS partners, retired NPS 
employees, and other interested persons not directly affiliated with 
the NPS access. The CLP also establishes communities of practice using 
interest groups and forums in order to increase communication among the 
NPS training community. The CLP includes an Ask the Expert feature 
where industry experts or retired NPS employees who are experts in 
their field can field questions from NPS employees. Individuals may 
visit the Common Learning Portal to learn about upcoming training 
events without providing any information. However, in order to 
participate in community forum discussions, an account on the site must 
be created. Registering for an account requires the user provide the 
following information for use in the community discussion forums:
     Name,
     Email address, and
     Username.
    Once registered, the user has the opportunity to voluntarily 
provide additional information on their portal profile, to include:
     Photo (optional)
     Title
     Location,
     Expertise,
     Duties, and
     Additional personal information such as hobbies or 
activities.
    Additional information provided by the individual in these text 
fields such
