Federal agencies with an opportunity 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 soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the NPS; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
NPS enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the NPS
minimize the burden of this collection
on the respondents, including through
the use of information technology.
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: Authorized by the Organic
Act of 1916 (54 U.S.C. 100101), the NPS
is charged with protecting cultural and
natural resources for the enjoyment and
education of current and future
generations. The NPS Education
Program Office administers education
programs to fulfill the educational
mission of the NPS. This new
information collection request is for an
online survey of elementary school
educators in support of that mission.
Results from this study will support the
Education Program Office in its work to
provide inspiring and informative
educational programs to students across
the country.
This study will include 3rd–5th grade
educators who have or have not
participated in NPS education
programs. Collecting data from both
groups will allow the NPS to
understand program effectiveness, as
well as identify barriers to participation
and factors that may inspire future
participation. This information
collection will seek to understand
