SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Concessioner Annual Financial Report.
    Form Number(s): 10-356, 10-356A.
    OMB Control Number: 1024-0029.
    Expiration Date of Approval: April 30, 2007.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection
    Description of Need: The regulations at 36 CFR part 51 primarily 
implement Title IV of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998 
(Pub. L. 105-391 or the Act), which requires that the Secretary of the 
Interior exercise authority in a manner consistent with a reasonable 
opportunity for a concessioner to realize a profit on his operation as 
a whole commensurate with the capital invested and the obligations 
assumed. It also requires that franchise fees be determined with 
consideration to the opportunity for net profit in relation to both 
gross receipts and capital invested. The financial information being 
collected is necessary to provide insight into and knowledge of the 
concessioner's operation so that this authority can be exercised and 
franchise fees determined in a timely manner and without an undue 
burden on the concessioner.
    Comments are invited on: (1) The practical utility of the 
information being gathered; (2) the accuracy of the agency's burden 
hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden to 
respondents, including use of automated information collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. Before including 
your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal 
identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your 
entire comment--including your personal identifying information--may be 
made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your 
comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public 
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
