SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, 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.
    On October 4, 2019, we published a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on this collection of information for 60 days, 
ending on December 3, 2019 (84 FR 53172). We did not receive any public 
comments on this notice.
    We are again 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 maintains law enforcement incident reports in the 
Department of the Interior's Incident and Management Reporting System 
(IMARS), which is a Privacy Act System of Records (DOI-10). In 
accordance with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)), the NPS is barred 
from releasing copies of records contained within IMARS, including but 
not limited to motor vehicle accident reports, without the prior 
written request and/or consent of the individual to whom the record 
pertains unless authorized under appropriate routine-use exceptions.
    The purpose of the collection is to enable the NPS to respond to 
requests made under the FOIA and the Privacy Act of 1974 by locating 
applicable law enforcement case incident reports responsive to the 
request. Information includes sufficient personally identifiable 
information and/or source documents as applicable. The detailed 
personal information, to include the date/place of birth, as well as 
the requestor's Social Security Number, is needed to identify records 
unique to the requestor. Failure to provide the required information 
may result in the NPS being unable to take any action on the request.
    The NPS uses Form 10-945, ``Certification of Identity and Consent'' 
to collect the minimal information necessary to verify the identity of 
first-party requesters and to document if and when they authorize the 
NPS to release their information to a third party. The form collects 
the following information to verify the identity of the requester:
     Full name of Requester;
     Case Number;
     Social Security Number;
     Current Address;
     Date of Birth; and
     Place of birth.
    Title of Collection: Certification of Identity and Consent Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1024-0280.
    Form Number: NPS Form 10-945.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals requesting copies of law 
enforcement case incident reports maintained within the Department of 
Interior's IMARS.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 2,000.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,000.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 3 minutes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 100.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Phadrea Ponds,
Acting, Information Collection Clearance Officer, National Park 
Service.
