II. Data

National Awards; Application/
Nomination Process.
OMB Control Number: 1093–0004.
Current Expiration Date: March 31,
2010.
Type of Review: Information
Collection Renewal.
Affected Entities: Individuals or
households. Businesses and other
institutions. State, local and tribal
Governments.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 130.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
(2) Annual reporting and record
keeping burden:
Average annual reporting burden per
respondent: 1 hour
Total annual reporting: 130 hours.
(3) Description of the need and use of
the information: The statutorily required
information is needed to provide the
Office of the Secretary with a vehicle to
collect the information needed to
include individuals and organizations
nominated by the public in applicant
pools for TPIA National Awards and to
recognize them for the valuable
contributions that they make in support
of the stewardship of America’s lands,
facilities, and cultural and natural
resources.
(4) As required under 5 CFR
1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice
soliciting comments on the information
collection was published on October 16,
2009 (74 FR 53288). One comment was
received. This comment was not
directed at the information collection,
and thus resulted in no change. This
notice provides the public with an
additional 30 days in which to comment
on the proposed information collection
activity.
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),
require that interested members of the
public and affected parties have an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). This notice
identifies an information collection
activity that the Office of the Secretary,
Take Pride in America has submitted to
OMB for renewal.
Under the Take Pride in America
Program Act (the Act), 16 U.S.C. 46–01–
4608, the Secretary of the Interior is to:
(1) ‘‘Conduct a national awards program
to honor those individuals and entities
which, in the opinion of the Secretary
* * * have distinguished themselves in
activities’’ under the purposes of the
Act, and also to (2) ‘‘establish and
maintain a public awareness campaign
in cooperation with public and private
organizations and individuals—(A) To
instill in the public the importance of
the appropriate use of, and appreciation
for Federal, State and local lands,
facilities, and natural and cultural
resources; (B) to encourage an attitude
of stewardship and responsibility
towards these lands, facilities, and
resources; and (C) to promote
participation by individuals,
organizations, and communities of a
conservation ethic in caring for these
lands, facilities, and resources.’’ The Act
states that ‘‘[t]he Secretary is authorized
* * * generally to do any and all lawful
acts necessary or appropriate to further
the purposes of the TPIA Program.’’
If this information were not collected
from the public, Take Pride in America
awards would be limited to individuals
and organizations nominated by Federal
agencies based on projects within their
sphere of influence. This would
effectively block many worthy
individuals and organizations from
being considered for these awards. The
TPIA Program was launched in April of
2003 with the stated intent of honoring
the best in the Nation, without
restriction. It would reflect poorly on
the Department and on the President if
only volunteers to Federal agencies

performance of the functions of the

estimate of the burden of the collection
and the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
