SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public
understand our information collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
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. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
[[Page 55840]]
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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: Section 418, Public Law 105-391 (54 U.S.C. 101925) gives
the Secretary of the Interior the authority to authorize a private
person, corporation, or other entity to provide services to visitors in
units of the National Park System through a Commercial Use
Authorization (CUA). The NPS authorizes commercial operations that
originate and operate entirely within a park (in-park); commercial
operations that provide services originating and terminating outside of
the park boundaries; noncommercial organized children's camps, outdoor
clubs, and nonprofit institutions; and other uses as the Secretary
determines appropriate. The NPS Commercial Use Authorization Program
uses forms 10-550, 10-550s, 10-660, and 10-660A to:
<bullet> Manage the program and operations.
<bullet> Determine the qualifications and abilities of the
commercial operators to provide high quality, safe, and enjoyable
experience for park visitors.
<bullet> Determine the impact on the park's natural and cultural
resources.
<bullet> Manage the use and impact of multiple operators.
The information is used to evaluate requests and determine the
suitability of the applicants to safely and effectively provide an
appropriate service to the visiting public.
Title of Collection: Commercial Use Authorizations.
OMB Control Number: 1024-0268.
