It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published (87 FR 55843) on September 12, 2022. We received written comments from Washington State Recreation and SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 67797 Conservation Office and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. The comments and NPS responses are summarized below. Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office: It would be most helpful if NPS revised and expanded A&R questions to clarify the information sought. In our experience, incomplete information provided on this form (often due to misunderstanding what is required) creates additional work, expense and time lags for RCO’s subgrantees as well as NPS. We all share the same goal of wanting to provide a complete accurate initial application, within reason of what information that an applicant would have without promise of any grant funding. The commenter also provided specific feedback on ways to provide clarity to the instructions in each section. NPS Response/Action Taken: The comments and suggestions for rewording to improve the clarity and to remove duplication of questions were accepted. To accommodate the request proposing additional instructions for questions the NPS will create annotated versions of the A&R and C&S forms to provide additional guidance. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department: The comments from this respondent were mainly technical in nature, addressing the wording of some questions on both the A&R and C&S Forms, as well as describing issues with formatting on these forms that make the forms more difficult for applicants to use, including ‘‘an unnecessary amount of time to correct.’’ The respondent also noted that Section 3.0, Subsection C. Environmental Resources Survey should be improved. The respondent recommended that Tables 1 and 2 have a column added to indicate neutral impacts (impacts that are neither positive or negative) and a Not Applicable column (resource does not exist). NPS Response/Action Taken: • We will revisit the forms to try to address the issues the commenter identified, such as possibly placing form fields in the document for responses so that applicants don’t feel the need to enter their responses in colored text. We note that some of the issues the commenter described can be caused by how these documents are saved and shared for use, which may erase formatting. • The tables in Section 3.C were revised to remove the response indicating more research is needed and to restore a ‘‘not present or N/A’’ option in Table 1.
