In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years. Prior to renewal, the agency is requested to consider ways to allow for information related to paleontological research and collection on NPS lands to be submitted either through the Research Permit and Reporting System or through the BLM, Reclamation, and FWS permitting system provided here, depending on the public’s preference. Prior to renewal, the agency is also requested to consider opportunities to streamline permit requests and related activities that could span multiple departments’ or DOI bureaus’ lands or other instances where there may be multiple Federal land managers.

Abstract:
The Paleontological Resources Preservation Act (PRPA) was enacted to preserve paleontological resources for current and future generations because these resources are nonrenewable and are an irreplaceable part of America’s heritage. PRPA requires that implementation be coordinated between the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture and that DOI and USDA issue regulations as appropriate to carry out the law. We (DOI) are proposing regulations to implement the PRPA. The proposed rule would preserve, manage, and protect paleontological resources on BLM, NPS, Reclamation, and FWS lands and ensure that these resources are available for current and future generations to enjoy as part of America’s national heritage. The rule would address the management, collection, and curation of paleontological resources from Federal lands using scientific principles and expertise, including collection in accordance with permits, curation in an approved repository, maintenance of confidentiality of specific locality data, and authorization of penalties for illegal collecting, damaging, otherwise altering or defacing, or sale of paleontological resources. Information collected will allow the DOI bureaus to inventory paleontological resources, implement the permitted collection of fossils from the ground, preserve collected fossils in repositories, track and report the location and condition of paleontological resources, implement the civil penalties provisions with due process considerations, and monitor the results of scientific investigations that involve the use of paleontological resources in both the field and in museum collections.
