SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
January 17, 2018 (83 FR 2463). No comments were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of the Office of Acquisition and Property Management 
and other DOI bureaus; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the Office of Acquisition and Property Management enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 
(5) how might the Office of Acquisition and Property Management 
minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including 
through the use of information technology.
    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 us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The Department of the Interior (DOI) manages an estimated 
204 million museum objects in trust for the American public as reported 
in the DOI Museum Property Management Summary Report Fiscal Year 2016. 
This diverse collection consists of archaeological artifacts, archives, 
art, biological specimens, ethnographic objects, geological specimens, 
historic objects, and paleontological specimens that are owned and 
managed by ten of the Department's bureaus and offices (bureaus). This 
information collection request is directed to non-Federal repositories 
that house DOI museum collections. The information that DOI obtains, on 
a voluntary basis, concerns DOI museum collections held at non-

[[Page 16116]]

Federal repositories. Receipt of this information supports the 
Department's responsibilities for the management of its museum 
collections.
    The information that DOI seeks consists of the following:

A. Catalog Records;
B. Accession Records;
C. Facility Checklist for Spaces Housing DOI Museum Property 
(Checklist);
D. Inventory of Museum Collections (Inventory); and
E. Input on Collections from Lands Administered by the U.S. 
Department of the Interior that are Located at Non-Federal 
Facilities (Input Form).

    Although the majority of DOI's collections are housed in various 
bureau facilities across the nation, approximately ten percent (an 
estimated more than 25 million objects) are located at approximately 
880 non-Federal repositories, primarily state, tribal, and local 
museums and university departments. Most of the DOI museum artifacts, 
specimens, and archives housed in non-Federal repositories resulted 
from authorized scientific research projects on Federal lands, and 
include collections from the disciplines of archaeology, biology, 
geology, and paleontology, as well as associated project documentation. 
Many of these non-Federal repositories have successful, longstanding 
relationships with the Department.
    DOI museum objects cared for in non-Federal repositories are those 
artifacts, specimens, and archives that are established as Federal 
property under Federal law, implementing regulations, and Executive 
Orders. Common law also confers rights to landowners, including the 
Federal government, such as ownership of property, resources, and other 
tangible assets existing on or originating from those lands, unless 
those rights were previously relinquished, sold, awarded, or otherwise 
reassigned. Also, permits and other agreements for the collection of 
artifacts and specimens from public lands managed at the time by the 
Department further establish Federal ownership. In order to maintain 
accountability of and facilitate access to DOI museum objects, the 
objects must be documented in the Interior Collection Management System 
(ICMS), its successor, or in another collection management database 
from which the necessary data can be imported into ICMS, or its 
successor.
    DOI policy requires that all permitees conducting authorized 
scientific research and authorized individuals performing compliance 
activities on DOI-managed lands must ensure that any retained museum 
specimens or objects collected during a project are: (1) Accessioned 
and cataloged in ICMS, or its successor, according to DOI standards; 
and (2) housed in an appropriate museum repository that meets DOI 
museum standards. These requirements ensure the collections' long-term 
preservation, protection, and accessibility for research access and 
use. The majority of current scientific research projects and care of 
the resulting collections meet these criteria.
    Title of Collection: Documenting, Managing and Preserving 
Department of the Interior Museum Collections Housed in Non-Federal 
Repositories.
    OMB Control Number: 1084-0034.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Museums; academic, cultural, and 
research institutions; and, state or local agencies and institutions.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 800.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 800.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 1 hour to 12 
hours, depending on activity.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,600 Hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: Maximum of once per year per collection 
instrument, and likely less frequently.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
