SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 1024-0029.
    Title: Concessioner Annual Financial Reports.
    Form(s): 10-356, 10-356A.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of 
information.
    Abstract: 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. This program will measure performance in meeting goals as 
required by the 1995 Government Performance and Results Act.
    Affected public: Businesses and nonprofit organizations.
    Obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of response: Annually.

    Estimated total annual responses:

    150 responses for Form 10-356.

    350 responses for form 10-356A.

    Estimated average completion time per response:

    Form 10-356--16 hours per response.

    Form 10-356A--4 hours per response.

    Estimated annual reporting burden: 3,800 hours.
    Estimated annual nonhour cost burden: None.
    Comments are invited on: (1) The practical utility of the 
information being gathered; (2) the accuracy of the 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.

     Dated: January 26, 2010.

NPS Information Collection Clearance Officer.
