In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, this collection is approved through October 31,
1988 to give NPS time to justify the practical utility of this
collection and to demonstrate that it is the minimum possible
collection of information. Answers to the following questions
should be included in this justification: -why can't all size
concessioners use the short form? -why was $100,000 used as the
threshold for filling out long form? -If larger firms are audited,
then why does NPS need all this data? Can't you just ask for
subtotals and total's and have auditor sign form. -what is done
with information on the Supplemental Schedules. Please give details
for each line. -how do concessioners know whether to fill out
Supplemental Schedules? -how many concessioners have gross receipts
of greater than $100,000? How many concessioners are there? -the
supporting statement says audits must be done if gross receipts
above $100,000. The forms state $250,000. Which is correct?
