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
[[Page 65247]]
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
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: Authorized by the National Park Service Act Organic Act,
54 U.S.C. 100101, we must preserve America's natural wonders unimpaired
for future generations, while also making them available for the
enjoyment of the visitor. Meeting this mandate requires that we balance
preservation with use. Maintaining a good balance requires both
information and limits. In accordance with regulations at 36 CFR, we
issue permits for special park uses.
Special park uses cover a wide range of activities including, but
not limited to special events, First Amendment activities, grazing and
agricultural use, filming, still photography, construction, and vehicle
access. Permits are issued for varying amounts of time based on the
requested use, but generally do not exceed 5 years. A new application
must be submitted in order to request the renewal of an existing
permit.
The information we collect in the special use applications allows
park managers to determine if the requested use is consistent with the
laws and NPS regulations referenced above and with the public interest.
The park manager must also determine that the requested activity will
not cause unacceptable impacts to park resources and values. The
information is collected using the following NPS forms:
<bullet> 10-930--Application for Special Use Permit
<bullet> 10-930c--Application for Special Use Permit--Climbing
<bullet> 10-930s--Application for Special Use Permit (short form)
<bullet> 10-931--Application for Special Use Permit--Still Photography
Permit (short)
<bullet> 10-932--Application for Special Use Permit--Still Photography
Permit (long)
<bullet> 10-933--Application for Special Use Permit--Vehicle/Watercraft
Use
The information collected on the forms is used to evaluate requests
for Special Use Permits and facilitate the permitting process. If the
requested use is consistent with park regulations, the information
collected is used to issue a permit.
