of the agency’s burden estimates; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information collection; and
(4) ways to minimize the information
collection burden on respondents, such
as use of automated means of collection
of the information. A summary of the
public comments will accompany our
submission of the information collection
requests to OMB.

Mining in the Parks Act. These
regulations are applicable to all mineral
activities in park units related to
unpatented and patented mining claims
under the Mining Law of 1872 (30

CFR 9.17(a), the NPS is required to
publish this notice in the Federal
Register advising the public of the
availability of the proposed plan for
