Officer, National Park Service, 1201 Oakridge Drive Fort Collins, CO

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not 
conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on 
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This 
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements 
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public 
understand our information collection requirements and provide the 
requested data in the desired format.
    We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following:
    (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether or not the information will have practical utility.
    (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection 
of information, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used.
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected.
    (4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of response.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the 
official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and 
objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, 
engineering, and culture. National Register properties have 
significance to the history of communities, States, or the Nation. The 
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires the Secretary of 
the Interior to maintain and expand the National Register, and to 
establish criteria and guidelines for including properties on the 
National Register. National Register properties must be considered in 
the planning for Federal or federally assisted projects and listing in 
the National Register is required for eligibility for Federal 
rehabilitation tax incentives.
    The NPS is responsible for administering the National Register. 
Nominations for listing historic properties come from State Historic 
Preservation Officers (SHPO), from Federal Preservation Officers (FPO) 
for properties owned or controlled by the United States Government, and 
from Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPO) for properties on 
tribal lands. Private individuals and organizations, local governments, 
and American Indian tribes often initiate this process and prepare the 
necessary documentation. Regulations at 36 CFR 60 and 63 establish the 
criteria and guidelines for listing and for determining the eligibility 
of properties.

National Register of Historic Places.

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
