The information collected is reported to Congress and is used for land management purposes.

Short Statement:
Prior to 2017 the National Park Service reported the burden and costs for all agencies using the DI-1926 application form. Starting in the 2017 request, the National Park Service is only reporting the anticipated burden and costs for their bureau. The application form DI-1926 is converted to a defined “Common Form” that other agencies may utilize, but must independently report their own associated burden and costs to OMB. We are reporting 100 estimated average responses totaling burden hours annually for this information collection for the National Park Service. The time required to review a report increased from 30 minutes in 2014 to 2 hours in 2017. The reason for this is because the complexity of permitted field work within NPS has trended upward since 2014 and the associated reports are more elaborate, requiring more time to review.

Description/Changes for Common Form Usage:
Allow other agencies (outside the Department of The Interior) to more accurately report their projected burden and costs while utilizing Form DI-1926 "Application For Permit For Archeological Investigations" to facilitate their associated permit processing. Prior to 2017, The National Park Service attempted to gather and represent the burden hours and costs for all agencies and bureaus known to be utilizing Form DI-1926. Though mostly effective, results have becoming increasingly challenging to gather and consistently represent. Sustained reporting accuracy for projected annual burden hours and costs realized by the government will be more effective with the use of an official Common Form as each agency using the form will have to report their own burden and cost projects independent of what is reported by the Department of The Interior.
