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 
March 28, 2022 (87 FR 17321). No comments were received.
    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.
    (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 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 NPS maintains law enforcement incident reports in the 
Department of the Interior's Incident and Management Reporting System 
(IMARS), which is a Privacy Act System of Records (DOI-10). In 
accordance with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)), the NPS is barred 
from releasing copies of records contained within IMARS, including but 
not limited to motor vehicle accident reports, without the prior 
written request and/or consent of the individual to whom the record 
pertains unless authorized under appropriate routine-use exceptions.
    The purpose of the collection is to enable the NPS to respond to 
requests made under the FOIA and the Privacy Act of 1974 by locating 
applicable law enforcement case incident reports responsive to the 
request. The NPS uses Form 10-945, ``Certification of Identity and 
Consent'' to collect the information necessary to verify the identity 
of first-party requesters and to document when they authorize the NPS 
to release their information to a third party. Failure to provide the 
required information may result in the NPS being unable to take any 
action on the request. The form collects the following information to 
verify the identity of the requester:

 Full name of the requester
 Case number
 Current address
 Date of birth
 Place of birth

    Title of Collection: Certification of Identity and Consent Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1024-0280.
    Form Number: NPS Form 10-945.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals requesting copies of law 
enforcement case incident reports maintained within the Department of 
Interior's IMARS.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 2,000.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,000.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 3 minutes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 100.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    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.).
