Purposes The purposes of this application are (1) to provide a National Park Service (NPS) park superintendent with information to approve or deny requests for activities that provide a benefit to an individual, group, or organization, rather than the public at large; and (2) to help NPS staff manage the activity to ensure that the permitted activity does not interfere with the enjoyment of the park by visitors and that the natural and cultural resources of the park are protected

Routine Uses: In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(b) of the Privacy Act, records or information contained in this system may be disclosed outside the NPS as a routine use pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(b)(3) to other Federal, State, territorial, local, tribal, or foreign agencies and other authorized organizations and individuals based on an authorized routine use when the disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were compiled as described under the system of records notice for this system 

Effects of Nondisclosure: Failure to provide the requested information may impede your ability to obtain a permit from the NPS. The U.S. Criminal Code, Title 18 U.S.C. § 1001, provides that knowingly falsifying or concealing a material fact is a felony that may result in fines of up to $10,000 or 5 years in prison, or both. Deliberately and materially making false or fraudulent statements on this form will be grounds for denying you a Special Use Permit.

If your request is approved, a permit containing applicable terms and conditions will be sent to you. The permit must be signed by the responsible person and returned to the park for final approval by the Park Superintendent before the permitted activity may begin.
