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).
