SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. 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.
• 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.
You may obtain additional
information about the application and
reporting forms and existing guidance
and explanatory material by clicking on
‘‘Help’’ at the RPRS Web site (https://
