III. Comments
On January 15, 2016, we published in
the Federal Register (81 FR 2234) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on March 15, 2016. We
received two comments in response to
that Notice.
Comment received January 15, 2016,
from Jean Public: ‘‘it is my opinion that
the American public/taxpayers cannot
continue to provide the vast array of
alleged ‘‘training’’ that they formerly
did. I am very much in favor of a vastly
reduced ‘‘training’’ schedule’’ and do
not favor a common portal so that more
‘‘training’’ can go on. I find the endless
conferences where nothing really is
accomplished an dhuge hotel and travel
costs are involved when Skype is
available to be utgter nonsense in
sending taxpayers into poverty for the
ever overprivileged fat cat bloated
bureaucratic employees in this agency.
we pay for their travel where they plot
against the interest of the public and for
their own enrichment. we pay for this
out of control training costs. its time to
cut the budget. its time for those who
want to learn to take out a book and
read it and go to the library and get
copies of journals that will educate
them on their nights. the extensive
training costs that are mangling the
taxpayer class needs to be reduced. the
out of control benefits of govt
employhees needs to be reduced. the
spending is out of control. we cant
afford it. we have 4 levels of govt to
fund. its just too much. the deficits are
rolling in in the trillions of dollars. start
some cutting please of all these funds.
This comment is for the public record.

want the job otherwise don’t hire them
in the first plac’’
NPS Response/Action Taken: The
NPS responded to thank Ms. Public for
her comment and to explain the goal of
the portal is to provide more training
opportunities at reduced costs—with
cost savings achieved through
reductions in travel and shipping of
training materials. We further explained
the proposed system is designed to help
reach the entire employee workforce
and interested outside persons around
the world. No changes were made in
response to her comment.
Anonymous comment received March
4, 2016: ‘‘https://www.nps.gov/training/
clp/html/index.cfm.
The above link mentions concept
from CR Academy. Searching Google
found this: https://learning.nps.gov/cr/
join-the-commons/.
Where is the SORN for the CR
Academy Web site to operate? Looks to
be collecting a lot of data . . . security
breach?
It also mentions it links to other
systems like AD, links directly to LMS,
and other Web sites . . . none of this is
mentioned in the SORN.
More lies from NPS to the Public.
More of the ‘‘We will do whatever we
want, and ask for mercy later.’’ I guess
it’s easier to say it was ‘‘oversight’’ than
to ask for permission.’’
NPS Response/Action Taken: The CR
Academy was not intended for public
use and is no longer operational. The
content that was available in the CR
Academy Web site transferred into the
CLP. We are currently working with the
NPS Privacy Act Officer to develop the
required Systems of Records Notice
(SORN) for approval and publication by
the Department of the Interior’s Privacy
Office. The portal will not be made
available to the public until all
requirements (such as compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act and
Privacy Act SORN requirements) have
been met and the NPS has been granted
an authority to operate (ATO) by the
NPS Chief Information Officer.
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.

Project Act of 1939, and the rules and
regulations published in 52 FR 11954,
April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22),
Reclamation will publish notice of
proposed or amendatory contract
actions for any contract for the delivery
of project water for authorized uses in
newspapers of general circulation in the
affected area at least 60 days prior to
contract execution. Announcements
may be in the form of news releases,
legal notices, official letters,
memorandums, or other forms of
written material. Meetings, workshops,
and/or hearings may also be used, as
appropriate, to provide local publicity.
The public participation procedures do
not apply to proposed contracts for the
sale of surplus or interim irrigation
water for a term of 1 year or less. Either
of the contracting parties may invite the
public to observe contract proceedings.
All public participation procedures will
be coordinated with those involved in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to
the ‘‘Final Revised Public Participation
Procedures’’ for water resource-related
contract negotiations, published in 47
FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation
is provided of all proposed contractual
actions in each of the five Reclamation
regions. When contract negotiations are
completed, and prior to execution, each
proposed contract form must be
approved by the Secretary of the
Interior, or pursuant to delegated or
redelegated authority, the Commissioner
of Reclamation or one of the regional
directors. In some instances,
congressional review and approval of a
report, water rate, or other terms and
conditions of the contract may be
involved.
Public participation in and receipt of
comments on contract proposals will be
facilitated by adherence to the following
procedures:
1. Only persons authorized to act on
behalf of the contracting entities may
negotiate the terms and conditions of a
specific contract proposal.
2. Advance notice of meetings or
hearings will be furnished to those
parties that have made a timely written
request for such notice to the
appropriate regional or project office of
Reclamation.
3. Written correspondence regarding
proposed contracts may be made
available to the general public pursuant
to the terms and procedures of the
Freedom of Information Act, as
amended.

contract or contract action must be
submitted to the appropriate regional
officials at the locations and within the
time limits set forth in the advance
public notices.
5. All written comments received and
testimony presented at any public
hearings will be reviewed and
summarized by the appropriate regional
office for use by the contract approving
authority.
6. Copies of specific proposed
contracts may be obtained from the
appropriate regional director or his or
her designated public contact as they
become available for review and
comment.
7. In the event modifications are made
in the form of a proposed contract, the
appropriate regional director shall
determine whether republication of the
notice and/or extension of the comment
period is necessary.
Factors considered in making such a
determination shall include, but are not
limited to, (i) the significance of the
modification, and (ii) the degree of
public interest which has been
expressed over the course of the
negotiations. At a minimum, the
regional director will furnish revised
contracts to all parties who requested
the contract in response to the initial
public notice.

1. Only persons authorized to act on behalf of the contracting
entities may negotiate the terms and conditions of a specific contract
proposal.
2. Advance notice of meetings or hearings will be furnished to
those parties that have made a timely written request for such notice
to the appropriate regional or project office of Reclamation.

available to the general public pursuant to the terms and procedures of
the Freedom of Information Act, as amended.
4. Written comments on a proposed contract or contract action must

6. Copies of specific proposed contracts may be obtained from the
appropriate regional director or his or her designated public contact
as they become available for review and comment.
7. In the event modifications are made in the form of a proposed
contract, the appropriate regional director shall determine whether
republication of the notice and/or extension of the comment period is
necessary.
Factors considered in making such a determination shall include,
but are not limited to, (i) the significance of the modification, and
(ii) the degree of public interest which has been expressed over the
course of the negotiations. At a minimum, the regional director will
furnish revised contracts to all parties who requested the contract in
