SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Public Law 105–203 (National
Underground Railroad Network to
Freedom Act of 1998) authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to establish the
Network to Freedom (Network). The
Network is a collection of sites,
facilities, and programs, both
governmental and nongovernmental,
around the United States. All entities
must have a verifiable association with
the historic Underground Railroad
movement. The National Park Service
administers the National Underground
Railroad Network to Freedom Program.
The program coordinates preservation
and education efforts Nationwide and
integrates local historical places,
museums, and interpretive programs
associated with the Underground
Railroad into a mosaic of community,
regional, and national stories.
Individuals; businesses;
organizations; State, tribal and local
governments; and Federal agencies that
want to join the Network must complete
an application form. The application
and instructions are available on our
Web site at http://www.nps.gov/
subjects/ugrr/index.htm. Respondents
must (1) verify associations and
characteristics through descriptive texts
that are the result of historical research
and (2) submit supporting
documentation; e.g., copies of rare
documents, photographs, and maps.
Much of the information is submitted in
electronic format and used to determine
eligibility to become part of the
Network.
Upon approval by OMB of this
extension request, the NPS will begin
developing a HTML version of the 10–
946, ‘‘National Park Service National
Underground Railroad Network to
Freedom Application Form’’ on the
Department of the Interior’s Enterprise
Forms System (EFS) Web site. The EFS
will consolidate all internal forms used
by the Department and external forms
used by the public into a centralized
automated forms program. This will

E:\FR\FM\15JAN1.SGM

15JAN1

2233

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2016 / Notices
increase efficiency and responsiveness
through the centralization and
automation of all Departmental forms.
In addition, the forms process will be
modernized through the
implementation of a completely digital
workflow, the integration of digital and
electronic signatures, and the ability to
utilize real-time workflow through the
use of unified messaging.
One of the principal components of
the Network to Freedom Program is to
validate the efforts of local and regional
organizations, and to make it easier for
them to share expertise and
communicate with us and each other.
The vehicle through which this can
happen is for these local entities to

become Network Partners. Partners of
the Network to Freedom Program work
alongside and often in cooperation with
us to fulfill the program’s mission.
Prospective partners must submit a
letter with the following information:
• Name and address of the agency,
company or organization;
• Name, address, and phone, fax, and
email information of principal contact;
• Abstract not to exceed 200 words
describing the partner’s activity or
mission statement; and
• Brief description of the entity’s
association to the Underground
Railroad.
