SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The National Park Service (NPS) Organic Act of 1916 (Organic Act) 
(54 U.S.C. 100101 et seq.) gives the NPS broad authority to regulate 
the use of the park areas under its jurisdiction. Consistent with the 
Organic Act, as well as the Constitution's Establishment Clause which 
mandates government neutrality and allows the placement of holiday 
secular and religious displays, the National Christmas Tree Music 
Program's holiday musical entertainment may include both holiday 
secular and religious music. To ensure that any proposed music 
selection is consistent with the Establishment Clause, and presented in 
a prudent and objective manner as a traditional part of the culture and 
heritage of this annual holiday event, it must be approved in advance 
by the NPS.
    The NPS National Christmas Tree Music Program at President's Park 
is intended to provide musical entertainment for park visitors during 
December on the Ellipse, where in celebration of the holiday season, 
visitors can observe the National Christmas Tree, visit assorted 
yuletide displays, and attend musical presentations. Each year, park 
officials accept applications from musical groups who wish to 
participate in the annual National Christmas Tree Program. The NPS 
utilizes Form 10-942, ``National Christmas Tree Music Program 
Application'' to accept applications from the public for participation 
in the program. Park officials utilize the following information from 
applicants in order to select, plan, schedule, and contact performers 
for the National Christmas Tree Program:
     Contact name, phone number, and email.
     Group name and location (city, state).
     Preferred performance dates and times.
     Music selections/song list.
     Equipment needs.
     Number of performers.
     Type of group (choir, etc.).
     Acknowledgement of the musical entertainment policy.
