Abstract: The NPS maintains law enforcement incident reports in the Department of the Interior’s Incident and Management Reporting System (IMARS), which is a Privacy Act System of Records (DOI–10). In accordance with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)), the NPS is barred from releasing copies of records contained within IMARS, including but not limited to motor vehicle accident reports, without the prior written request and/or consent of the individual to whom the record pertains unless authorized under appropriate routine-use exceptions. The purpose of the collection is to enable the NPS to respond to requests made under the FOIA and the Privacy Act of 1974 by locating applicable law enforcement case incident reports responsive to the request. Information includes sufficient personally identifiable information and/or source documents as applicable. The detailed personal information, to include the date/place of birth, as well as the requestor’s Social Security Number, is needed to identify records unique to the requestor. Failure to provide the required information may result in the NPS being unable to take any action on the request. PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The NPS uses Form 10–945, ‘‘Certification of Identity and Consent’’ to collect the minimal information necessary to verify the identity of firstparty requesters and to document if and when they authorize the NPS to release their information to a third party. The form collects the following information to verify the identity of the requester: • Full name of Requester; • Case Number; • Social Security Number; • Current Address; • Date of Birth; and • Place of birth. Title of Collection: Certification of Identity and Consent Form. OMB Control Number: 1024–0280. Form Number: NPS Form 10–945. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Description of Respondents: Individuals requesting copies of law enforcement case incident reports maintained within the Department of Interior’s IMARS.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 100. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None. An agency 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USIBWC prepared the EA to evaluate the 
environmental effects of continuing to implement the River Management 
Plan (RMP) for the Rio Grande Canalization Project (RGCP) in Sierra and 
Do[ntilde]a Ana Counties, New Mexico and El Paso County, Texas. The RMP

infrastructure, including levee roads, bridges, and the American 
Diversion Dam; implementation of channel maintenance alternatives 
(CMAs) within the USIBWC right-of-way (ROW) as outlined in the RMP; and 
implementation/maintenance of habitat restoration sites. The EA 
evaluates potential impacts of seven alternatives, including the No 
Action Alternative. Under the Preferred Alternative, USIBWC would 
continue implementation of the RMP; designate up to 65 miles through 
the USIBWC ROW for the New Mexico Rio Grande Trail and Texas trails 
under USIBWC's lease program; conduct increased sediment removal; re-

evaluated. A Finding of No Significant Impact has been prepared for the 
Preferred Alternative based on a review of the facts and analyses 
contained in the EA. Notice of the Draft EA was published in the 
Federal Register on May 31, 2019 (Federal Register Notice, Vol. 84, No.
