SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), 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

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 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on
September 12, 2022 (87 FR 55848). No
comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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: Authorized by Executive
Order 10450, the Homeland Security
Presidential Directive (HSPD–12),
regulations mandated by the U.S. Office
of Personnel Management OPM, and the
Department of the Interior (DOI), the
National Park Service (NPS) collects
information from all applicants for
Federal employment and non-Federal
personnel requiring access to NPS
property.
The NPS uses Form 10–152,
‘‘Background Clearance Initiation
Request’’ to collect information from all
applicants to determine their suitability
to receive DOI credentials. The National
Background Investigation Services
(NBIS) Electronic Application (eApp)
System, is used to create accounts
necessary to initiate background
investigations for all individuals
requiring access to NPS property and/or
to receive a DOIAccess Personal
Identification Verification (PIV) badge.
The information collected is protected
by the Privacy Act and maintained in a
secure system of records Interior/DOI–
45, ‘‘HSPD–12: Identity Management
System and Personnel Security Files,’’
86 FR 50156; September 7, 2021).
With this renewal, we’re proposing to
update the name of the form from
National Park Service Background
Clearance Initiation Request to National
Park Service Investigation/Background
Clearance Initiation Request. Adding
‘‘Investigation’’ to the form clarifies the
purpose and intent of the form. We’ve
made modifications to two of the fields,
expanding on the response options to
clarify the different non-federal
affiliations for fields in DOI Access and
also based on the changes in the vetting
model. We’ve added four new fields
based on the new administrative
requirements and due to the feedback
received during the voluntary outreach
exercise.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Legal Authority
Section 306 of the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826)
requires the Attorney General to
establish aggregate production quotas
(APQ) for each basic class of controlled
substance listed in schedule I and II.
The Attorney General has delegated this
function to the Administrator of the
Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100.
Under 21 U.S.C. 826(h), when a
request for individual manufacturing
quota is submitted by a DEA-registered
manufacturer pertaining to a schedule II
controlled substance that is contained in
a drug on FDA’s list of drugs in
shortage, DEA must complete review of
such request not later than 30 days after
receipt of the request. If, after the review
is completed, DEA finds it necessary to
address a shortage of that controlled
substance, DEA is to increase the
aggregate and individual production
quotas of that controlled substance and
any ingredient therein to the level
requested. 21 U.S.C. 826(h)(1)(B)(i).
However, if it is determined that the
level requested is not necessary to
address the shortage, DEA is to provide
a written response detailing the basis for
the determination. 21 U.S.C.
826(h)(1)(B)(ii).
Background
DEA published the 2023 established
APQ for controlled substances in
schedules I and II in the Federal
Register on December 2, 2022. 87 FR
74168. The 2023 established APQ
represents those quantities of schedule
I and II controlled substances that may
be manufactured in the United States to
provide for the estimated medical,
scientific, research, and industrial needs
of the United States, for lawful export
requirements, and for the establishment
and maintenance of reserve stocks.
These quotas do not include imports of
controlled substances for use in
industrial processes. The final order
stipulated that all APQ are subject to an
adjustment, in accordance with 21 CFR
1303.15.1
Quotas Applicable to Drugs in Shortage
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 826(h)
DEA received written correspondence
from FDA on August 10, 2023, in
accordance with 21 U.S.C. 356c,
addressing the domestic drug shortage
1 Established Aggregate Production Quotas for
Schedule I and II Controlled Substances and
Assessment of Annual Needs for the List I
Chemicals Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and
Phenylpropanolamine for 2023, 87 FR 74168
(December 2, 2022).
