Abstract: The America the Beautiful-the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Access Pass and Senior Passes are free, lifetime Passes issued by the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the National Park Service. The Interagency Access Pass is available to citizens or persons domiciled in the United States, regardless of age, who have a medical determination and documentation of permanent disability. The Interagency Senior Pass is available to citizens or persons domiciled in the United States who are 62 years of age or older.
In the past, the processes to obtain these Passes required in-person application. The proposed revision to current policy creates processes for applicants to obtain either Pass through the mail. Standard Operating Procedures have been updated to reflect the change to allow applicants to submit applications by mail along with photo copies of identification verifying U.S. residency or citizenship and documentation of disability for the Interagency Access Pass or U.S. residency or citizenship, and age for the Interagency Senior Pass. The process for obtaining an Interagency Access or Senior Pass in person is not changing.
Comments: On June 9, 2010, we published in the Federal Register (75 FR 32810-32811) a notice of our intent to request that OMB renew this information collection. In that notice, we solicited comments for 60 days, ending on August 9, 2010. We did not receive any comments in response to that notice.
We again invite comments concerning this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of information is necessary, including whether or not the information will have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents.
Comments you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail 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 OMB in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee it will be done.
