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.

We are estimating 80,483
responses totaling 22,872 annual burden hours, which is a net
increase of 46,748 responses and a net increase of 10,956 burden
hours from our previous submission. This includes the addition of
the new form 10-930c. The remaining increases in both responses and
burden hours are the result of improved tracking of permits,
particularly those issued for off-road vehicle use. The creation of
an application specific to vehicle use led to a significant
improvement in tracking burden hours associated with this use.
Overall, we experienced an increase in the number of submissions
using Forms 10-931, 10-932, and 10-933; and a significant decrease
in the use of the 10-930 and 10-930s. The net increase of 46,748
responses resulted in the corresponding increase in the non-hour
annual burden costs of 3,506,100 ($75.00 x 46,748). The net
increase of 46,748 responses resulted in the corresponding increase
in the non-hour annual burden costs of 3,506,100 ($75.00 x
46,748).
