    Abstract: The United States Park Police (USPP) have jurisdiction in 
all National Park Service areas and certain other Federal and State 
lands. The USPP are highly trained and professional police officers who 
prevent and detect criminal activity; conduct investigations; apprehend 
individuals suspected of committing offenses against Federal, State and 
local laws; provide protection to the President of the United States 
and visiting dignitaries; and provide protective services to some of 
the most recognizable monuments and memorials in the world.
    Applicants for USPP officer positions must complete and pass a 
competitive written examination, an oral interview, a medical 
examination and psychological evaluation, and a battery of physical 
fitness and agility tests. As part of this application process, we use 
USPP Form 1 (United States Park Police Personal History Statement) to 
collect detailed personal history information from applicants. We use 
this information as a basis for an investigation to determine suitable 
applicants for USPP positions.
    Comments: On May 17, 2010, we published in the Federal Register (75 
FR 27574) a notice of our intent to request that OMB renew this 
information collection. In that notice, we solicited comments for 60 
days, ending on July 16, 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 that 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 that it 
will be done.
