It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. A <E T="04">Federal Register</E> notice with a 60-day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on July 9, 2025 (90 FR 30260). We did not receive any comments in response to that notice. 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.

To effectively manage requests received for NPS educational programs, the NPS Washington Support Office, Division of Interpretation, Education, and Volunteers, seeks approval for the continued use of the approved NPS form 10-1750, “Education Reservation Request Form.” The NPS form 10-1750 collects necessary reservation information, including (1) person(s) or organization(s) requesting education program services; (2) type of program requested; (3) logistical details including, date, time, grade level, number of students; (4) technology available to the group for distance learning programming; and (5) criteria for academic fee waiver eligibility. This information facilitates operational aspects of scheduling groups for in-park education programs, ranger-in-classroom programs, and/or online distance learning programs. The form will be fully electronic and available on participating parks websites for the purpose of making group reservations and accommodating public requests for group education programming. <E T="03">Title of Collection:</E> “Education Reservation Request Form.” <E T="03">OMB Control Number:</E> 1024-0288. <E T="03">Form Number:</E> NPS 10-1750. <E T="03">Type of Review:</E> Renewal of a currently approved collection. <E T="03">Respondents/Affected Public:</E> Educators at public and private schools, homeschool groups, school-age clubs. <E T="03">Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents:</E> 39,000. <E T="03">Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:</E> 7,150. <E T="03">Estimated Completion Time per Response:</E> 11 minutes. <E T="03">Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:</E> 7,150 hours. <E T="03">Respondent's Obligation:</E> Required to obtain a benefit. <E T="03">Frequency of Collection:</E> On occasion. <E T="03">Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost:</E> None.
