clarity of the information to be

the use of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before

Abstract: The purpose of this
information collection is to assist the
NPS in managing the Commercial Use
Authorization Program. 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 (54 U.S.C. 101925)
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;
commercial operations that provide
services originating and terminating
outside of the park boundaries;
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, equipment rentals,
catering services, and dozens of other
visitor services. Section 418 limits
CUAs to:
• Commercial operations with annual
gross receipts of not more than $25,000
resulting from services originating and
provided solely within a unit of the
National Park System;
• Incidental use of resources of the
unit by commercial operations which
provide services originating and
terminating outside of the boundaries of
the unit; or
• Uses by organized children’s
camps, outdoor clubs and nonprofit
institutions (including back country
use) and such other uses as the
Secretary determines appropriate.
We collect information on the CUA
Application (Form 10–550), 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 park’s
natural and cultural resources.
• Manage the use and impact of
multiple operators.
The information requested will allow
the NPS to evaluate requests for a
commercial use authorization and
determine the suitability of the
applicants to safely and effectively
provide an appropriate service to the

visiting public. It will also enable the
NPS to manage the activity in a manner
that protects the natural and cultural
resources and the park visitor.
Management includes, but is not limited
to, managing the number of permits
issued, determining the location and
time that the activity occurs, and
requiring the appropriate visitor
protections including insurance,
equipment, training, and procedures.
Regulations resulting in information
collection required for a Commercial
Use Authorization include: 36 CFR
1.6—Permits; 36 CFR 2—Resource
Protection, Public Use and Recreation;
36 CFR 5—Commercial and Private
Operations; and 36 CFR 7—Special
Regulations; 36 CFR 13—National Park
System Units in Alaska.
Title of Collection: Commercial Use
Authorizations.
OMB Control Number: 1024–0268.
Form Number: 10–550 Commercial
