Abstract: Authorized by the NPS
Organic Act, 54 U.S.C. 100101 et seq.,
and Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.
Code chapter 6A, the NPS Office of
Public Health (OPH) is called upon by
NPS leadership and others to conduct
disease surveillance, respond to urgent
outbreaks, and prevent illnesses within
or associated with national parks. In
some areas of the National Park System,
State and local health departments may
not have jurisdiction; even where State
and local health departments do have
jurisdiction, they may rely on the NPS
for public health response on public
lands.
This collection will allow the NPS
OPH to conduct epidemiological
investigations in response to public
health events of concern, including:
• Incidents where three or more
visitors, employees, or volunteers have
similar symptoms or illnesses.
• Single reports of rare or reportable
diseases.
• Incidents that result in death, cause
serious injury or illness, and/or lead to
overnight hospitalization.
• Wildlife encounters of concern such
as bites, scratches, or attacks and
wildlife deaths that do not fit known
patterns.
• Any additional illnesses of public
health concern.
The information collected will be
used to determine the agents, sources,
modes of transmission, or risk factors so
that effective prevention and control
measures can be implemented.

Abstract: The National Park Service
Organic Act, 54 U.S.C. 100101(a) et seq.,
requires that the NPS preserve national
parks for the enjoyment, education, and
inspiration of this and future
generations. In order to monitor
resources and bear management in areas
managed by the NPS and to enhance the
safety of future visitors, we are
requesting to revise OMB Control
Number 1024–0281 to include a new
system-wide form for bear sightings and
interactions by visitors in national
parks.
Bear sighting data provide park
managers with important information
used to determine bear movements,
habitat use, and species distribution.
This information is important for
backcountry management and planning,
field research planning, and educational
outreach for visitors. Bear-human
interaction data is vital to
understanding bear responses to people,
detecting changes in bear behavior, and
identifying areas of high bear-human
conflict.
Obtaining immediate information on
bear-human conflicts allows managers
to respond promptly to mitigate further
conflicts. Proactive mitigation includes
notifying other backcountry users,
issuing advisories or recommendations,
or issuing closures to prevent further
conflicts and maintain public safety.
