These forms collect the information
necessary to evaluate requests to use park resources for both
commercial and noncommercial activities, i.e., special events,
grazing, filming and photography. The information we collect in the
application allows the park manager to evaluate requests for a
special park use permit. A special park use is an activity that
takes place on park land or waters and meets the following
criteria: • Provides a benefit to an individual, group, or
organization, rather than the public at large, • Requires written
authorization and some degree of NPS management to protect park
resources and the public interest, • Is not prohibited by law or
regulation, • Is not initiated, sponsored, or conducted by the NPS,
• Is not managed under a concession contract or commercial use
authorization, and • Is not managed through a lease, and • Is not
an activity covered by a Commercial Use Authorization.

responses totaling 11,916 annual burden hours, which is a net
decrease of 4,730 responses and a net decrease of 266 burden hours
from our previous submission. The decreases in both responses and
burden hours are the result improved tracking of permits. Overall,
we experienced an increase in the number of submissions using Forms
10-930 and 10-932; but this increase was counter-balanced by a
larger decrease in the number of applications using Forms 10-930s,
10-931, and 10-933.
