SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 
information collections require approval under the PRA.
    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.
    (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: The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, as 
amended (LWCF Act) (54 U.S.C. 200301 et. seq.) was enacted to help 
preserve, develop, and ensure access for the public to outdoor 
recreation opportunities. Among other programs, the LWCF Act provides 
funds for and authorizes federal assistance to the States for planning, 
acquisition, and development of needed land and water areas and 
facilities for outdoor recreation purposes. In accordance with the LWCF 
Act, the National Park Service (we, NPS) administers the LWCF State 
Assistance Program, which provides matching grants to States.
    LWCF grants are provided to states (including the 50 states; the 
Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands; the 
District of Columbia; and the Territories of Guam, the U.S. Virgin 
Islands, and American Samoa) on a matching basis for up to 50 percent 
of the total project-related allowable costs. Grants to eligible 
insular areas may be for 100 percent assistance. Payments for all 
projects are made to the state organization that is authorized to 
accept and administer funds paid for approved projects. Local units of 
government participate in the program as sub-grantees of the state with 
the state retaining primary grant compliance responsibility.
