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), 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.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
April 28, 2022 (87 FR 25289). One comment was received but it did not 
address the information collection.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other 
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;
    (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. 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 personally 
identifiable information (PII)--may be made publicly available at any 
time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your PII from 
public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The Department of the Interior (DOI) developed the DI-
4016, Request for Individual Access to Records Protected under the 
Privacy Act, and DI-4017, Consent for Disclosure of Records Protected 
under the Privacy Act, forms for individuals to submit requests for 
accessing, and consenting to the disclosure of, records protected under 
the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The DI-4016, 
Request for Individual Access to Records Protected under the Privacy 
Act, form is used by individuals seeking access to their records and 
any information pertaining to them that are maintained in DOI's systems 
of records. The DI-4017, Consent for Disclosure of Records Protected 
under the Privacy Act, form provides written consent of the individual 
to whom the record pertains when disclosing records to another person 
or an agency. The Privacy Act provides that ``the parent of any minor, 
or the legal guardian of any individual who has been declared to be 
incompetent due to physical or mental incapacity or age by a court of 
competent jurisdiction, may act on behalf of the individual.'' 
Therefore, these forms may also be used by a parent or legal guardian.
    These forms were based on the templates provided in the OMB 
Memorandum M-21-04, Modernizing Access to and Consent for Disclosure of

[[Page 64086]]

Records Subject to the Privacy Act, issued on November 12, 2020, which 
implements the requirements of the Creating Advanced Streamlined 
Electronic Services for Constituents Act of 2019 (``CASES Act''). The 
CASES Act was issued in an effort to modernize the Privacy Act request 
process by requiring agencies to accept access and consent forms from 
individuals properly identity-proofed and authenticated remotely 
through a digital service option in addition to an agency's existing 
process. The CASES Act also requires the forms to be posted on the 
agency website's privacy program page and the website updated to 
include instructions on how individuals may submit requests digitally.
