NPS Case and Outbreak Investigation Data Collections – Paperwork Reduction Act Renewal
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The National Park Service (NPS), operating under the U.S. Department of the Interior, has submitted a notice pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 proposing to renew an existing information collection with revisions. This collection relates to case and outbreak investigation data gathered within national park units across the United States. The renewal with revisions signals that the NPS intends to update or modify the scope, format, or burden of the existing data collection process. The submission has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval, as required by federal regulation. This type of collection typically involves gathering epidemiological and public health data related to illness outbreaks or individual cases occurring in NPS-managed lands, enabling the agency to investigate, track, and respond to health incidents affecting park visitors and staff. The public and affected stakeholders may have an opportunity to comment on the proposed renewal during the OMB review period, as is standard under the Paperwork Reduction Act process.
