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.
    We are 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; (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. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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) owns and manages 
over 204 million artifacts, scientific specimens, and documents in 
trust for the American public. This diverse collection consists of 
archaeological artifacts, archives, art, biological specimens, 
ethnographic objects, geological specimens, historic objects, and 
paleontological specimens that are held by ten of DOI's bureaus and 
offices. The majority of DOI's collections are housed in bureau 
facilities; however, over ten percent (more than 25 million objects and 
19,000 cubic feet of objects) are housed by at least 882 non-Federal 
repositories, the majority of which are museums associated with, or 
departments of, U.S. colleges and universities. Most are scientific 
collections from the disciplines of archaeology, biology, geology, and 
paleontology and include associated archival records.
    DOI museum collections, regardless of where they are housed, must 
be managed according to preservation, documentation, educational, and 
other requirements in the public interest. These requirements are 
mandated by a number of Federal laws, notably: Archaeological Resources 
Protection Act of 1979, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470aa-mm); 
Paleontological Resources Preservation Act of 2009 (16 U.S.C. 470aaa-
4); Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (16 U.S.C. 703-712); Marine 
Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1361-1407); Endangered Species 
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543); Lacy Act of 1900 (16 
U.S.C. 3371-3378; 18 U.S.C. 43-44); Native American Graves Protection 
and Repatriation Act of 1990 (25 U.S.C. 3001-3013); Federal Property 
and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended (40 U.S.C. 524); 
National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (54 U.S.C. 100101); 
Management of Museum Properties Act of 1955, as amended (54 U.S.C. 
102501-102504); National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended 
(54 U.S.C. 300101 et seq.); Historic Sites Act of 1935 (54 U.S.C. 
320101-320104, 320106); and Monuments, Ruins, Sites, and Objects of 
Antiquity (Act for the Preservation of American Antiquities of 1906 
(``Antiquities Act'')) (54 U.S.C. 320301-320303). Pertinent regulations 
are Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archaeological 
Collections (36 CFR part 79); Federal Management Regulation, Subchapter 
B:

[[Page 2464]]

Personal Property (41 CFR part 102); Protection of Archaeological 
Resources (43 CFR part 7); and Native American Graves Protection and 
Repatriation Act Regulations (43 CFR part 10). Pertinent policies are 
the Department of the Interior Departmental Manual, Part 410: Personal 
Property Management and Part 411: Identifying and Managing Museum 
Property (411 DM), and DOI Museum Property Directives that implement 
411 DM.
    The Departmental Manual chapter, 411 DM, which implements the 
Federal laws and regulations noted above, requires the following 
information be collected, used, and retained by all bureaus that hold 
ownership of museum collections: Facility Checklist for Spaces Housing 
DOI Museum Property; catalog records; accession records; and 
inventories of museum collections. These requirements apply to all DOI 
museum collections regardless of each collection's location (DOI 
facility or non-DOI facility) or the personnel that accomplished the 
work (DOI staff, contractors, partners, cooperators, agencies, 
institutions, or similar organizations associated with DOI).
    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.

    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.).
