    Description of Need: The National Park Service's (NPS) legislative 
mandate is to preserve America's natural wonders unimpaired for future 
generations, while also making them available for the enjoyment of the 
visitor (16 U.S.C. 1). Various regulations found at 36 CFR parts 1-7 
and 43 CFR part 5 require permits for various activities on park lands. 
The National Park Service is requesting approval of three forms (Forms 
10-930, 10-931, and 10-932) used to apply for special use permits for 
activities on park lands. Proposed activities may include, but are not 
limited to, special events, First Amendment activities, commercial 
filming, grazing, and agricultural use. Park managers use the 
information to determine if the requested use is consistent with the 
NPS legal authorities, regulations and policy and will not cause 
unacceptable impacts to park resources and values. The following chart 
provides the number of respondents, number of annual responses, average 
completion time, and total annual burden hours by activity.

    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

your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal 
identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your
