[top] 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. We may not conduct, or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. page 1780

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 NPS is authorized by section 4 of the National Trails System Act (16 U.S.C. 1243) and Secretarial Order No. 3319 to administer the National Recreation Trail (NRT) program, which establishes National Water Trails as a class of National Recreation Trails and directs that such trails collectively be considered in a National Water Trails System.

The NPS uses forms 10-1002: Application for Designation as National Water Trail and 10-1003: Application for Designation as National Recreation Trail to collect information NPS requires when submitting suitable trails or trail systems and water trails to the Secretary of the Interior for designation. The applications are evaluated for adherence to NRT requirements and criteria. NPS evaluation of an application is based on (1) the sufficiency of information provided on the application form and in supporting documentation, such as photographs, maps, and written landowner consents that accompany the form, and (2) successfully meeting the NRT requirements and criteria. Successful applications are forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior for approval.
