Abstract: The Public Gathering Permit System is an extension of the National Park Service (NPS) statutory responsibilities to protect the park areas it administers and to manage public use. NPS regulations, as applicable to demonstrations and special events in National Capital Region (NCR) parks, are designed to implement statutory mandates to provide for resource protection and public enjoyment. These regulations reflect the special demands on many of the urban NCR parks as sites for demonstrations and special events. The NPS collects information in the Public Gathering Permit application to allow NPS officials to determine that groups conducting demonstrations and special events will use adequate measures to ensure order within their own ranks and to assist in protecting demonstrating groups. Permit applications also provide a means to request waivers of numerical limitations on the White House sidewalk and in Lafayette Park and to ensure demonstrating groups take adequate measures to minimize the possibility of danger to the White House and its occupants.

Short Statement: We are reporting 7,477 annual responses totaling 6,188 burden hours and $152,280 in non-hour burden costs. This is a net increase of 131 responses, 65 annual burden hours, and $13,080 in non-hour costs. The increase is annual burden is attributed to a rather slight increase in the overall number of applications received since the last report. The increase in non-hour costs is attributed to realigning the cost with each information collection corresponding to a response for a special event rather than estimating it across each response for an Application for a Public Gathering as was previously reported. This submission aligns the application fee to requests for special events.
