SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The America the Beautiful—National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands Pass Program covers recreation opportunities on public lands managed by four Department of the Interior agencies—the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the Bureau of Reclamation—and by the Department of Agriculture’s U.S. Forest Service. The passes provide visitors an affordable and convenient way to access Federal recreation lands. The pass program’s proceeds are used to improve and enhance visitor recreation services. Two of the available passes—Interagency Access Pass and Interagency Senior Pass—require documentation and are the bases for this information collection. The Interagency Access Pass (NPS Form 10–596) is a free, lifetime pass issued to citizens or residents who are domiciled in the United States, regardless of age, and who have a medical determination and documentation of permanent disability. You can obtain an Access Pass in person, with proper documentation, from a participating Federal recreation site or office. Access Passes may also be obtained via mail order. Mail-order applicants for the Access Pass must submit a completed application, proof of residency, and documentation of permanent disability, and pay the document processing fee of $10 to obtain a pass through the mail. Number of respondents Activity If a person arrives at a recreation site and claims eligibility for the Interagency Access Pass, but cannot produce any documentation, that person must read, sign, and date a Statement of Disability Form (NPS Form 10–597) in the presence of the agency officer issuing the Interagency Access Pass. If the applicant cannot read and/or sign the form, someone else may read, date, and sign the statement on his/her behalf in the applicant’s presence and in the presence of the agency officer issuing the Interagency Access Pass. The Interagency Senior Pass (NPS Form 10–595) is a lifetime pass issued to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are 62 years or older. There is a $10 fee for the Senior Pass. You can buy a Senior Pass in person from a participating Federal recreation site or office or by mail order. There is an additional document processing fee of $10 to obtain a Senior Pass through the mail or online. Mail-order applicants must submit a completed application and proof of residency and age, and pay $20 for the pass fee and processing fee. Agency Web sites provide information on the passes and acceptable documentation. All documentation submitted in person or through the mail is returned to the applicant. II.

Torres via email at Martin_Torres@nps.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The Division of Permits Management of the National Mall and Memorial Parks issues permits for public gatherings (special events and demonstrations) held on NPS property within the National Capital Region. Regulations at 36 CFR 7.96(g) govern permits for public gatherings and implement statutory mandates to provide for resource protection and public enjoyment. These regulations reflect the special demands on many of the urban National Capital Region parks as sites for demonstrations and special events. A special event is any presentation, program, or display that is recreational, entertaining, or celebratory in nature; e.g., sports events, pageants, celebrations, historical reenactments, regattas, entertainments, exhibitions, parades, fairs, festivals and similar events. The term ‘‘demonstration’’ includes demonstrations, picketing, speechmaking, marching, holding vigils or religious services and all other like forms of conduct that involve the communication or expression of views or grievances. Those who want to hold a special event or demonstration must complete NPS Form 10–941, ‘‘Application for a Permit to Conduct a Demonstration or Special Event in Park Areas’’ (which also includes a ‘‘Waiver of Numerical Limitations on Demonstrations for White House Sidewalk and/or Lafayette Park’’). NPS Form 10–941 collects information on: • Sponsor (name, address, telephone and fax numbers, email address, Web site address). • Type of permit requested. • Logistics (dates/times, location, purpose, plans, and equipment for proposed activity). • Potential civil disobedience and traffic control issues. • Circumstances that may warrant park rangers being assigned to the event.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The America the Beautiful--National Parks and Federal Recreation
Lands Pass Program covers recreation opportunities on public lands
managed by four Department of the Interior agencies--the National Park
Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and
the Bureau of Reclamation--and by the Department of Agriculture's U.S.
Forest Service. The passes provide visitors an affordable and
convenient way to access Federal recreation lands. The pass program's
proceeds are used to improve and enhance visitor recreation services.
Two of the available passes--Interagency Access Pass and Interagency
Senior Pass--require documentation and are the bases for this
information collection.
The Interagency Access Pass (NPS Form 10-596) is a free, lifetime
pass issued to citizens or residents who are domiciled in the United
States, regardless of age, and who have a medical determination and
documentation of permanent disability. You can obtain an Access Pass in
person, with proper documentation, from a participating Federal
recreation site or office. Access Passes may also be obtained via mail
order. Mail-order applicants for the Access Pass must submit a
completed application, proof of residency, and documentation of
permanent disability, and pay the document processing fee of $10 to
obtain a pass through the mail.
If a person arrives at a recreation site and claims eligibility for
the Interagency Access Pass, but cannot produce any documentation, that
person must read, sign, and date a Statement of Disability Form (NPS
Form 10-597) in the presence of the agency officer issuing the
Interagency Access Pass. If the applicant cannot read and/or sign the
form, someone else may read, date, and sign the statement on his/her
behalf in the applicant's presence and in the presence of the agency
officer issuing the Interagency Access Pass.
The Interagency Senior Pass (NPS Form 10-595) is a lifetime pass
issued to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are 62 years or
older. There is a $10 fee for the Senior Pass. You can buy a Senior
Pass in person from a participating Federal recreation site or office
or by mail order. There is an additional document processing fee of $10
to obtain a Senior Pass through the mail or online. Mail-order
applicants must submit a completed application and proof of residency
and age, and pay $20 for the pass fee and processing fee.
Agency Web sites provide information on the passes and acceptable
documentation. All documentation submitted in person or through the
mail is returned to the applicant.
