SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and

of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the

[[Page 66001]]

public understand our information collection requirements and provide 
the requested data in the desired format.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the NPS; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the NPS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the NPS minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    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 NPS History Collection comprises over 3.5 million 
objects, documents, audio recordings, still photographic images, and 
motion picture films, providing a rich source of information for 
diverse users interested in the history of the NPS cultural and natural 
resources. The Harpers Ferry Center (HFC) is responsible for managing 
this collection. Authorized by 43 U.S.C. 1460, HFC provides copies of 
museum, archival, and art collections available to increase access to 
NPS museum collections, to enhance preservation of original materials, 
for education and public enjoyment, and in general support of the NPS 
mission.
    Each year, staff managing these collections receive hundreds of 
requests for copies of materials. These requests are typically for hard 
copy and/or digital scans of documents, prints, slides, negatives, 
audiovisual materials, and works of art. The forms in this collection 
of information is necessary to appropriately respond to the large 
number of requests received. Without the information, timely and 
effective communication with the requestor is not possible.
    The information collected will be used to determine what is 
requested, how it will be used, and the timeframe in which it is 
needed. This aids in determining legal restrictions, standards being 
requested (scan resolution), and our ability to meet those needs. 
Understanding the intended use of the materials is important as many 
materials in the collections have copyright, contractual, or other 
legal restrictions that prohibit anything except ``fair use'' under 
U.S. copyright laws.
    This request is to approve two forms currently in use without a 
valid OMB control number. The ``User Agreement Document'' and ``Art 
Request Form'' facilitate requests for copies of materials managed by 
HFC. We are now requesting approval to use these forms on our Harpers 
Ferry website as fillable forms.
