Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. 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.

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.
    (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. Before including your address, phone number, email

will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The Organic Act of 1916 (54 U.S.C. 100101), authorizes 
the NPS to regulate the use of the park areas under its jurisdiction. 
Consistent with the Organic Act, as well as the Constitution's 
Establishment Clause which mandates government neutrality and allows 
the placement of holiday secular and religious displays, the National 
Christmas Tree Music Program's holiday musical entertainment may 
include both holiday secular and religious music. To ensure that any 
proposed music selection is consistent with the Establishment Clause 
and is presented in a prudent and objective manner as a traditional 
part of the culture and heritage of this annual holiday event, it must 
be approved in advance by the NPS.
    The NPS National Christmas Tree Music Program at President's Park 
is intended to provide musical entertainment for park visitors during 
December in celebration of the holiday season. During this time, 
visitors can observe the National Christmas Tree, visit assorted 
yuletide displays, and attend musical presentations. Each year, park 
officials accept applications from musical groups who wish to 
participate in the annual National Christmas Tree Program. The NPS uses 
Form 10-942, ``National Christmas Tree Music Program Application'' to 
accept applications from the public for participation in the program. 
Park officials use the information collected to select, plan, schedule, 
and contact performers for the National Christmas Tree Program.
    Title of Collection: National Park Service President's Park 
National Christmas Tree Music Program Application.
    OMB Control Number: 1024-0277.
    Form Number: NPS Form 10-942, ``National Christmas Tree Music 
Program Application.''
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

bands, choirs, or dance groups.

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 75.

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 19.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

    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.).
