A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on April 22, 2022 (87 FR 24196) and ended on June 21, 2022.

The second comment was about the review process, not this specific information collection. The commenter also suggested we add more language, definitions, and references regarding harm, pain, and distress to our forms. NPS Response: In our response, we assured the commenter that our IACUC is well-situated to review the protocols we receive. We will also work towards incorporating additional language, definitions, and references regarding pain and distress in our communications with researchers. Comment 2: The second comment did not specially address the information in the 60-day notice. NPS Response: We acknowledge receipt but did not provide a response. At the time of this submission, the electronic platform is currently under development and will not be in use before this collection expires. Therefore, the program is requesting an extension, without change to the currently approved collection. We will submit a request for revision when the electronic platform is operational. As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. 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.

Your comments should address one or more of the following four points: —Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, including whether the information will have practical utility; —Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; —Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced; and —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 responses. Abstract: The LEMAS core survey, conducted every 3 to 4 years since 1987, is based on a nationally representative sample of approximately 3,500 generalpurpose LEAs and provides national estimates of law enforcement salaries, expenditures, operations, equipment, information systems and policies and procedures. In addition to these regular surveys, BJS also fields LEMAS supplement surveys to capture detailed information on specific topics pertaining to specific issues in law enforcement. BJS implemented this model of regular LEMAS core surveys and thematic supplement surveys following recommendations from the National Research Council. The first LEMAS supplement survey was fielded in 2017 (OMB Control Number 1121– 0354, expired 2/28/2019), with a focus on body-worn camera use among law enforcement agencies. The 2023 LEMAS supplement focuses on two topics, postacademy law enforcement training and agency responses to suicide. Postacademy training is defined as law enforcement training provided to fulltime sworn personnel with general arrest powers at any point in their law enforcement career following any recruit or field training.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
April 22, 2022 (87 FR 24196) and ended on June 21, 2022. We did not 
receive any comment on that notice. We reopened the comment period with 
a second notice published October 28, 2022 (87 FR 65245). This notice 
including information about a new electronic platform, Key Solutions 
protocol IACUC Software Module for Animal Subjects that was not 
described in the original notice. We receive the following comments for 
that notice.
    Comment 1: The first comment was concerned with the welfare of 
dogs, cats, and primates in lab research, none of which are included in 
the scope of the NPS IACUC. The NPS IACUC primarily reviews field and 
ecological research of North American wildlife, most often in free-
ranging settings. The second comment was about the review process, not 
this specific information collection. The commenter also suggested we 
add more language, definitions, and references regarding harm, pain, 
and distress to our forms.
    NPS Response: In our response, we assured the commenter that our 
IACUC is well-situated to review the protocols we receive. We will also 
work towards incorporating additional language, definitions, and 
references regarding pain and distress in our communications with 
researchers.
    Comment 2: The second comment did not specially address the 
information in the 60-day notice.
    NPS Response: We acknowledge receipt but did not provide a 
response.
    At the time of this submission, the electronic platform is 
currently under development and will not be in use before this 
collection expires. Therefore, the program is requesting an extension, 
without change to the currently approved collection. We will submit a 
request for revision when the electronic platform is operational.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other 
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. 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.
