collection applications generally include but are not limited to 
special events, filming and photography, and grazing in parks where 
such activity is authorized by law.

DATES: Public comments of this final notice must be received by 
December 5, 2003 to be assured of consideration.
    The bureau solicits public comments as to:
    (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the bureau, including whether 
the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the bureau's estimate of the burden of the 
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used;
    (3) The quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and
    (4) How to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated 
electronic, mechanical, or other forms of information technology.
