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-of-contact in

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.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) is the collection necessary for the proper 
functions of the NPS; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the NPS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the NPS minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    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 Lower Mississippi Delta Initiatives (LMDI) authorizes 
the Department of the Interior to establish within the National Park 
Service (NPS) a program to award grants to qualified tribal, 
governmental, and non-governmental entities and individuals to assist 
the Secretary in the preservation of regional culture and history, and 
the enhancement of educational and other recreational opportunities for 
delta residents. The Secretary is further authorized to award grants 
and provide other types of technical and financial assistance to the 
aforementioned entities and individuals to conserve and protect 
historic and archeological sites and structures in the Delta Region.
    As part of this effort, sites, facilities, programs, or properties 
applying for inclusion in the Network we are requesting OMB to approve 
the following collections: 10-2020 LMDI Local Heritage Grants 
Application, and 10-2020A LMDI Budget and Funding Form. Both will be 
used by the NPS and Jefferson National Parks Association (JNPA) to 
determine eligibility. Grant recipients will be required to submit a 
Midway and Annual Report.
