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), 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 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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
September 12, 2022 (87 FR 55839). 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; and
(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: 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; 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
experiences 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 provide an appropriate service safely
and effectively to the visiting public.
