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

We are estimating 80,542 responses totaling 22,890 annual burden hours. There is an overall net increase of 59 responses and 18 burden hours from our previous submission. This increase is caused by respondents and the burden for two new forms 10-930q and 10-934. This increase is offset by a net decrease of 1,291 respondents and 645 burden hours. The change was due to criteria specified in forms 10-931, 10-932, and 10-933 are no longer included in Form 10-930. Form 10-930 is now exclusively used for special park use requests throughout the service such as grazing, construction, special events, and other non-routine but permissible requests.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
