Noel L. Wagner,
Acting State Director.
The
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act (FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1739) directs
the Secretary of the Interior to involve
the public in planning and issues
related to the management of lands
administered by the BLM. Section 309
of FLPMA directs the Secretary to
establish 10- to 15-member citizenbased advisory councils that conform to
the requirements of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5
U.S.C Appendix 1). As required by
FACA, RAC membership must be
balanced and representative of the
various interests concerned with the
management of the public lands. The
rules governing RACs are found at 43
CFR subpart 1784. Section 309(a) of
FLPMA states that at least one member
of the advisory council must be an
elected official of general purpose
government serving the people within
the jurisdiction of the council. The
vacant seat on the Las Cruces District
RAC falls in category three as described
in the regulations at 43 CFR 1784.6–
1(c)(3). Individuals may nominate
themselves or others to serve on the
RAC. Nominees must be residents of
New Mexico. The BLM will evaluate
nominees based on their education,
training, experience, and their
knowledge of the geographical area of
the RAC. Nominees should demonstrate
a commitment to collaborative resource
decision-making.
The Obama Administration prohibits
individuals who are currently federally
registered lobbyists from being
appointed or re-appointed to FACA and
non-FACA boards, committees, or
councils.
The following must accompany all
nominations:
b Letter of reference from represented
interests or organizations;
b A completed background
information nomination form; and
b Any other information that
addresses the nominee’s qualifications.
Nomination forms are available from
Rena Gutierrez, Las Cruces District
Office, BLM, 1800 Marquess St., Las
Cruces, NM 88005, 575–525–4338 and
online at www.blm.gov/nm/racs.
Completed applications should be sent

Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
We (National Park Service)
will ask the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to approve the
information collection (IC) described
below. As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 and as part of our
continuing efforts to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, we invite the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on this collection of
information (OMB #1024–0224). This IC
is scheduled to expire on August 31,
2014. We may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
DATES: To ensure that your comments
on this IC are considered, we must
receive them on or before July 28, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
on this IC to Phadrea Ponds,
Information Collection Coordinator,
National Park Service, 1201 Oakridge
Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525 (mail); or
PhadrealPonds@nps.gov (email).

SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The NPS needs information
concerning park visitors and visitor
services, potential park visitors, and
residents of communities near parks to
provide National Park Service (NPS)
managers with usable information for
improving the quality and utility of
agency programs, services, and planning
efforts. Since many of the NPS surveys
are similar in terms of the populations
being surveyed, the types of questions
PO 00000
Frm 00090
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
being asked, and research
methodologies, the NPS proposes to
renew its clearance from OMB for a
Generic Information Collection (1024–
0224) of NPS-sponsored surveys. Since
1999, the benefits of this generic
approval program have been significant
to the NPS, Department of the Interior,
OMB, NPS cooperators, and the public.
Significant time and cost savings have
been incurred and more than 550
surveys have been conducted in units
throughout the National Park System.
Approval is typically granted within 60
days or less from the date the Principal
Investigator (PI) first submits the survey
package to the NPS Information Review
Coordinator for review. This is a
significant reduction over the
approximately 6–9 months involved in
the regular OMB review process. We are
requesting an extension of this
collection for the purposes of revising
the current Pool of Known questions
that are the primary function of this
process. We are planning to host a series
of workshops of social science
researches to update the original list of
questions and topics that are more than
20 years old because many questions in
the current listing are underutilized.
This extension will allow for the
effective outreach prescribed in item 8
of Supporting Statement Part A.
II. Data
OMB Number: 1024–0224.
Title: Programmatic Clearance for
NPS-Sponsored Public Surveys.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

and residents of communities near

‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection of information.
III. Request for Comments
We 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;
