We are estimating 38,465
responses totaling 12,182 annual burden hours, which is a net
increase of 21,065 responses and a net decrease of 369 burden hours
from our previous submission. Based on our experience in
administering the information collection, our outreach, and an
improved method for tracking permits, we decreased our number of
responses, reduced completion times, and more accurately reported
respondent groups. We are reporting as adjustments, a net increase
of 715 responses and a net decrease of 5,457 annual burden hours as
follows: • Form 10-930 – net decrease of 5,700 responses and 6,651
burden hours. This includes a decrease of 5,200 responses totaling
3,900 burden hours as a result of creating the new short
application form 10-930s. • Form 10-930s – increase of 5,200
responses totaling 1,300 burden hours. These are respondents who
previously completed the long form (10-930). • Form 10-931 –
increase of 655 responses and a net decrease of 336 annual burden
hours. • Form 10-932 – increase of 560 responses and 230 burden
hours. We are reporting as a program change, an increase of 20,350
responses and 5,088 annual burden hours associated with new Form
10-933. This form provides parks that allow over sand/off-road
vehicle or watercraft activities with an approved form to collect
the information and brings NPS into compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act. We are estimating nonhour burden costs of
$2,884,875, a net increase of $1,144,875 from our previous
submission. We decreased our estimated average application fee from
$100 to $75 to more accurately portray the application fees
associated with this collection. We are reporting as an adjustment,
a net decrease of $381,375 associated with the decrease in the
average fee and a decrease in the number of responses. We are
reporting an increase of $1,526,250 associated with fees for the
new Form 10-933.
