-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 
we, the National Park Service (NPS) are proposing a new information 
collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
March 22, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on this information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to Phadrea Ponds, NPS Information Collection Clearance 
Officer, 1201 Oakridge Drive Fort Collins, CO 80525; or by email to 
[email protected]. Please reference Office of Management and Budget

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact Linda Rosenblum, Education Program Manager, by 
email at [email protected], or by telephone at (202) 577-6469.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR 
1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the 
PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond 
to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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.
    We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following:
    (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection 
of information, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of response.
    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: NPS is authorized by 54 U.S.C. 100701, Protection, 
interpretation, and research in System, to administer education 
programs for education audiences including but not limited to school 
groups, scouting groups, extracurricular groups, and home school 
groups. To effectively manage requests received for NPS educational

available to group for distance learning programming, and (5) criteria 
for academic fee waiver eligibility.
    This information will facilitate operational aspects of scheduling 
groups for in-park education programs, ranger in classroom programs, 
and/or online distance learning programs. The form will be fully 
electronic and available on participating parks websites for the 
purpose of making school group reservations and accommodating public 
requests for group education programming.
