provisions). Furthermore, the Federal
government remains involved in the
Tribal land leasing process by approving
the Tribal leasing regulations in the first
instance and providing technical
assistance, upon request by a Tribe, for
the development of an environmental
review process. The Secretary also
retains authority to take any necessary
actions to remedy violations of a lease
or of the Tribal regulations, including
terminating the lease or rescinding
approval of the Tribal regulations and
reassuming lease approval
responsibilities. Moreover, the Secretary
continues to review, approve, and
monitor individual Indian land leases
and other types of leases not covered
under the Tribal regulations according
to the part 162 regulations.
Accordingly, the Federal and Tribal
interests weigh heavily in favor of
preemption of State and local taxes on
lease-related activities and interests,
regardless of whether the lease is
governed by Tribal leasing regulations
or part 162. Improvements, activities,
and leasehold or possessory interests
may be subject to taxation by the
Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux
Community.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:

I. Abstract
The Yellowstone National Park
Organic Act (16 U.S.C. 21 and 22),
signed March 1, 1872, established
Yellowstone National Park to ‘‘dedicate
and set apart as a public park or
pleasuring-ground for the benefit and
enjoyment of the people’’ and ‘‘for the
preservation, from injury or spoliation,
of all timber, mineral deposits, natural
curiosities, or wonders within said park,
and their retention in their natural
condition’’ The Organic Act of 1916 (16
U.S.C. 1 et seq.) authorizes the Secretary
of the Interior to develop regulations for
national park units under the
Department’s jurisdiction.
We (NPS) provide opportunities for
people to experience Yellowstone in the
winter via oversnow vehicles
(snowmobiles and snowcoaches,
collectively OSVs). Access to most of
the park in the winter is limited by
distance and the harsh winter
environment, which presents challenges
to safety and park operations. The park
does not provide wintertime OSV tours
directly, but currently authorizes OSV
tours through concessions contracts (for
snowcoach tours) and commercial use
authorizations (for snowmobile tours)
with area businesses to provide
transportation to visitors (Title IV,
Section 403 of the National Parks
Omnibus Management Act of 1998, Pub.
L. 105–391). The park issued 10-year
concession contracts for all OSVs
starting in December 2014.
OSV use is a form of off-road vehicle
use governed by Executive Order 11644
(Use of Off-road Vehicles on Public
Lands, as amended by Executive Order
11989). Implementing regulations are
published at 36 CFR 2.18, 36 CFR part

PO 00000

Frm 00048

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

13, and 43 CFR part 36. Routes and
areas may be designated for OSV use
only by special regulation after it has
first been determined through park
planning to be an appropriate use that
will meet the requirements of 36 CFR
2.18 and not otherwise result in
unacceptable impacts.
Information collection requirements
in this renewal request include:
(1) Emission and Sound Standards
(§ 7.13(l)(4)(vii) and (5)). Only OSVs that
meet NPS emission and sound
standards may operate in the park.
Before the start of each winter season:
(a) Snowcoach manufacturers or
commercial tour operators must
demonstrate, by means acceptable to the
Superintendent, that their snowcoaches
meet the standards.
(b) Snowmobile manufacturers must
demonstrate, by means acceptable to the
Superintendent, that their snowmobiles
meet the standards.
(2) Transportation Events
(§ 7.13(l)(11)(i)–(iii)). So that we can
monitor compliance with the required
average and maximum size of
transportation events, as of December
15, 2014, each commercial tour operator
must:
(a) Maintain accurate and complete
records on the number of snowmobiles
and snowcoaches he or she brings into
the park on a daily basis. These records
must be made available for inspection
by the park upon request.
(b) Provide a monthly use report on
their activities. We will use a form,
which will be available on the park Web
site, to collect the following information
for transportation events:
• Report Month/Year
• Contract Number
• Departure Date
• Duration of Trip (in days)
• Transportation event type
(snowmobile or snowcoach)
• Number of snowmobiles or
snowcoaches
• Air/noise emissions standard (New
BAT or E–BAT)
• Number of visitors and guides
• Route and primary destination
• If the transportation event
allocation was from another commercial
tour operator
• Administrative or guest services
trip
• Transportation event group size
(previous month and season to-date)
(3) Enhanced Emission Standards
(§ 7.13(l)(11)(iv)). To qualify for the
increased average size of snowmobile
transportation events or increased
maximum size of snowcoach
transportation events, each commercial
tour operator must:
(a) Before the start of each winter
season, demonstrate, by means

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2016 / Notices
acceptable to the Superintendent, that
his or her snowmobiles or snowcoaches
meet the enhanced emission standards;
and
(b) Maintain separate records for
snowmobiles and snowcoaches that
meet enhanced emission standards and
those that do not.
We will use the information collected
to:
• Ensure that OSVs meet NPS
emission standards to operate in the
park;
• (2) evaluate commercial tour
operators’ compliance with allocated
transportation events and daily and
seasonal OSV group size limits,

• ensure that established daily
transportation event limits for the park
are not exceeded,
• confirm that commercial tour
operators do not run out of
authorizations before the end of the
season and create a gap when
prospective visitors cannot be
accommodated, and
• guarantee compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
Responsible commercial tour
operators are required to provide this
information to minimize liabilities,
maintain business records for tax and
other purposes, obtain financial
backing, and ensure a safe, efficient, and
well-planned operation.
