SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The legislative mandate of the National Park Service Organic Act, 
found at 54 U.S.C. 100101(a), 100301 et seq. is to conserve America's 
natural wonders unimpaired for future generations, while also making 
them available for the enjoyment of the visitor. Meeting this mandate 
requires the NPS to balance conservation with use. Maintaining a good 
balance requires information and limits, as well as providing effective 
training to those responsible for upholding this mandate. The NPS 
Common Learning Portal (CLP) is focused on increasing the visibility of 
training available to NPS employees and makes the site available to the 
public to allow NPS partners, retired NPS employees, and other 
interested persons not directly affiliated with the NPS access. The 
information we collect as part of the registration process for the CLP 
enables non-NPS persons to register and participate with others within 
the site. The creation of a personal profile provides those using the 
CLP with basic information that can be used to find others with similar 
jobs, learning interests or to solve learning problems. All personal 
information, with the exception of the person's name and email address 
are optional when creating the profile, and profile information may be 
edited or deleted at

III. Comments

    On January 15, 2016, we published in the Federal Register (81 FR 
2234) a notice of our intent to request that OMB approve this 
information collection. In that notice, we solicited comments for 60 
days, ending on March 15, 2016. We received two comments in response to 
that Notice.
    Comment received January 15, 2016, from Jean Public: ``it is my 
opinion that the American public/taxpayers cannot continue to provide 
the vast array of alleged ``training'' that they formerly did. I am 
very much in favor of a vastly reduced ``training'' schedule'' and do 
not favor a common portal so that more ``training'' can go on. I find 
the endless conferences where nothing really is accomplished an dhuge 
hotel and travel costs are involved when Skype is available to be 
utgter nonsense in sending taxpayers into poverty for the ever 
overprivileged fat cat bloated bureaucratic employees in this agency.
    we pay for their travel where they plot against the interest of the 
public and for their own enrichment. we pay for this out of control 
training costs. its time to cut the budget. its time for those who want 
to learn to take out a book and read it and go to the library and get 
copies of journals that will educate them on their nights. the 
extensive training costs that are mangling the taxpayer class needs to 
be reduced. the out of control benefits of govt employhees needs to be 
reduced. the spending is out of control. we cant afford it. we have 4 
levels of govt to fund. its just too much. the deficits are rolling in 
in the trillions of dollars. start some cutting please of all these 
funds. This comment is for the public record. please receipt. jean 
publiee [email protected]
    fat cat bloated bureaucrats should have the education themselves if 
they want the job otherwise don't hire them in the first plac''
    NPS Response/Action Taken: The NPS responded to thank Ms. Public 
for her comment and to explain the goal of the portal is to provide 
more training opportunities at reduced costs--with cost savings 
achieved through reductions in travel and shipping of training 
materials. We further explained the proposed system is designed to help 
reach the entire employee workforce and interested outside persons 
around the world. No changes were made in response to her comment.
    Anonymous comment received March 4, 2016: ``http://www.nps.gov/training/clp/html/index.cfm.
    The above link mentions concept from CR Academy. Searching Google 
found this: http://learning.nps.gov/cr/join-the-commons/.
    Where is the SORN for the CR Academy Web site to operate? Looks to 
be collecting a lot of data . . . security breach?
    It also mentions it links to other systems like AD, links directly 
to LMS, and other Web sites . . . none of this is mentioned in the 
SORN.
    More lies from NPS to the Public. More of the ``We will do whatever 
we want, and ask for mercy later.'' I guess it's easier to say it was 
``oversight'' than to ask for permission.''
    NPS Response/Action Taken: The CR Academy was not intended for 
public use and is no longer operational. The content that was available 
in the CR Academy Web site transferred into the CLP. We are currently 
working with the NPS Privacy Act Officer to develop the required 
Systems of Records Notice (SORN) for approval and publication by the 
Department of the Interior's Privacy Office. The portal will not be 
made available to the public until all requirements (such as compliance 
with the Paperwork Reduction Act and Privacy Act SORN requirements) 
have been met and the NPS has been granted an authority to operate 
(ATO) by the NPS Chief Information Officer.
    We again invite comments concerning this information collection on:
     Whether or not the collection of information is necessary, 
including whether or not the information will have practical utility;
     The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this 
collection of information;
     Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
should be aware that your entire comment, including your personal 
identifying information, may be made publicly available at any time. 
While you can ask OMB and us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that it 
will be done.
