SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NPS maintains law enforcement incident reports in the 
Department of the Interior's Incident and Management Reporting System 
(IMARS), which is a Privacy Act System of Records (DOI-10). In 
accordance with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)), the NPS is barred 
from releasing copies of records contained within IMARS, including but 
not limited to motor vehicle accident reports, without the prior 
written request and/or consent of the individual to whom the record 
pertains unless authorized under appropriate routine-use exceptions. 
The purpose of the collection is to enable the NPS to respond to 
requests made under the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act 
of 1974 and to locate applicable law enforcement case incident reports 
responsive to the request. Information includes sufficient personally 
identifiable information and/or source documents as applicable. The 
detailed personal information, to include the date/place of birth, as 
well

as the requestor's Social Security Number, is needed to identify 
records unique to the requestor. Failure to provide the required 
information may result in the NPS being unable to take any action on 
the request.
    The NPS plans to implement the use of Form 10-945, ``Certification 
of Identity and Consent'' to collect the minimal information necessary 
to verify the identity of first-party requesters request information 
about themselves and document if and when they authorized the NPS to 
release their information to a third party. NPS Form 10-945 requires 
for the following information to verify the identity of the requester:
     Full name of Requester;
     Case Number;
     Social Security Number;
     Current Address;
     Date of Birth; and
     Place of birth.
