Abstract: Conducting commercial
operations in a unit of the National Park
System without a contract, permit,
commercial use authorization, or some
other written agreement is prohibited.
Section 418, Public Law 105–391 (16
U.S.C. 5966) 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). Such
authorizations are not considered
concession contracts. We authorize
commercial operations that originate
and operate entirely within a park (inpark); 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 commercial operations include a
range of services, such as mountain
climbing guides, boat repair services,
transportation services and tours, canoe
livery operations, hunting guides, retail
sales at festivals, fun runs, catering
services, and dozens of other visitor
services.
We collect information on the CUA
application (Form 10–650), the CUA
Annual Report (Form 10–660), and CUA
Monthly Report (Form 10–660A). We
use the information from these forms to:
• Manage the program and
operations.
• Determine the qualifications and
abilities of the commercial operators to
provide a high quality, safe, and
enjoyable experience for park visitors.
• Determine the impact on the parks
natural and cultural resources.
• Manage the use and impact of
multiple operators.
Comments: On April 11, 2011, we
published in the Federal Register (76
FR 2007) a notice requesting public
comment on this information collection.
The comment period ended on June 10,
2011. We received one comment in
response to this notice. The commenter
did not address the information

collection requirements, but stated that
the Government should be transparent
and that CUA holders and fees should
be posted on the Internet. Each park
issuing CUAs publishes the holder’s
contact information, the service(s)
provided, and fee information on the
park Web site. We did not made any
changes to our information collection
based on this comment.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
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
