Abstract: Regulations at 36 CFR 2.1
and 2.5 provide for taking of scientific
research specimens in parks. We use a
permit system to manage scientific
research and collecting. National Park
Service Forms 10–741a (Application for
a Scientific Research and Collecting
Permit) and 10–741b (Application for a
Science Education Permit) collect
information from persons seeking a
permit to conduct natural or social
science research and collection
activities in individual units of the
National Park System. The information
we collect includes, but is not limited
to:
• Names and business contact
information.
• Project title, purpose of study,
summary of proposed field methods and
activities, and study and field
schedules.
• Location where scientific activities
are proposed to take place, including
method of access.
• Whether or not specimens are
proposed to be collected or handled,
and if yes, scientific descriptions and
proposed disposition of specimens.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
• If specimens are to be permanently
retained, the proposed repositories for
those specimens.
Persons who receive a permit must
report annually on the activities
conducted under the permit. Form 10–
226 (Investigator’s Annual Report)
collects the following information:
• Reporting year, park, and type of
permit.
• Names and business contact
information and names of additional
investigators.
• Project title, park-assigned study or
activity number, park-assigned permit
number, permit start and expiration
dates, and scientific study start and
ending dates.
• Activity type, subject discipline,
purpose of study/activity during the
reporting year, and finding and status of
study or accomplishments of education
activity during the reporting year.
We use the above information to
manage the use and preservation of park
resources and for reporting to the public
via the Internet about the status of
permitted research and collecting
activities. We encourage respondents to

use the Internet-based, automated
Research Permit and Reporting System
(RPRS) to complete and submit
applications and reports. For those who
use RPRS, much of the information
needed for the annual report is
generated automatically through
information supplied in the application
or contained in the permit.
Comments: On September 19, 2013,
we published in the Federal Register
(78 FR 57654) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending November 3, 2013. We did
not receive any comments.
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

Grand Ditch Breach Restoration Final
Environmental Impact Statement,
Record of Decision, Rocky Mountain
National Park, Colorado
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park
Service announces the availability of the
Record of Decision for the Grand Ditch
Breach Restoration, Rocky Mountain
National Park, Colorado. On August 14,
2013, the Regional Director,
Intermountain Region approved the
Record of Decision for the project. As
soon as practicable, the National Park
Service will begin to implement the
Preferred Alternative contained in the
FEIS issued on May 31, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Record of
Decision can be obtained from the
contact listed above or online at
https://parkplanning.nps.gov/romo or by
email at romo_information@nps.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Park Service (NPS) considered
five alternatives for the restoration of
the Grand Ditch breach. Alternative A,
the no action alternative; Alternative B,
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

minimal restoration; Alternative C, high
restoration; Alternative D, the NPS
preferred alternative; and Alternative E,
maximum restoration. Alternative D, the
NPS preferred alternative, is the
selected action and will emphasize the
removal of large debris deposits at the
confluence of Lulu Creek and the
Colorado River and in the Lulu City
wetland. Actions will be conducted to
stabilize limited areas of unstable 2003
debris deposits along slopes and banks
throughout the project area.
Stabilization actions will be
implemented in areas with steep slopes,
where vegetation has not reestablished
since the 2003 ditch breach occurred,
and outside the channel and floodplain
that are not exposed to high flows.
These actions will enhance hydrologic
conditions and remove debris sources
that could erode and be transported
downstream as sediment causing
continued degradation. Sediment would
also be removed in localized areas along
the Colorado River to reconnect the
river with some previously blocked
floodplain locations. Hydrology through
the Lulu City wetland will be restored
in the historical central channel through
removal of large, localized deposits of
debris and sediment, relying on the
historical channel to transport river
flow. Channel restoration will achieve
stream channels that are more
hydrologically and hydraulically stable
and provide streambed and channel
dynamic stability. Small-scale
motorized equipment may be employed
for stabilization and revegetation
activities, while larger equipment may
be employed for excavation of large
debris deposits. The selected action
represents basic hydraulic engineering
requirements to ensure that flows are
naturally conveyed within the stream
channel cross-sections and that the
channels will maintain hydrologic
function, while accommodating the
natural range of overbank flooding of
adjacent floodplains and wetlands. The
Record of Decision includes a statement
of the decision made, synopses of other
alternatives considered, the basis for the
decision, a description of the
environmentally preferable alternative,
a finding of no impairment of park
resources and values, a listing of
measures to minimize environmental
harm, and an overview of public
involvement in the decision-making
process.
