your comments. Individuals in the United States who are deaf, 
deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 
(TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. 
Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services 
offered within their country to make international calls to the point

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 National Park Service Protection, Interpretation, and 
Research in System (54 U.S.C. 100101 et seq.), and the Public Health 
Service Act (42 U.S. Code Chapter 6A) give the NPS Office of Public 
Health (OPH) broad authority to collect public health data using NPS 
Forms 10-685--Concession Employee Illness Report and 10-686--Tour 
Vehicle Passenger Illness Report. The forms collect information on the 
symptoms, duration, and location of illness which allows public health 
workers to respond rapidly and appropriately to address health and 
safety incidents within the park system.
    The Disease Reporting and Surveillance System (DRSS) provides data 
on the symptoms, duration, and location of illness, which allows public 
health workers to work rapidly and appropriately to address the 
incidents. This data provides parks, OPH staff, managers of park 
concessioners, and park clinic concessioners with an early warning 
system for potential outbreaks to inform public health interventions.
    Title of Collection: Office of Public Health Disease Reporting and 
Surveillance Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 1024-0286.
    Form Number: NPS Forms 10-685 and 10-686.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals/households and private 
sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 390.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 390.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Concession Employee 
Illness: 10 minutes; Tour Vehicle Passenger Illness: 15 minutes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 73.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    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.).
