However, the National Football League's use of the National Mall to launch its 2003 season raised questions about whether permitting such events was consistent with existing policies and law and whether all applicable fees for permitting special park uses were being collected. GAO (1) identified applicable policy guidance for issuing special uses permits for special events and for commercial filming and still photography, (2) assessed the extent to which this guidance was applied during fiscal year 2003, and (3) determined the extent to which the Park Service implemented the requirement to collect location fees for commercial filming and still photography. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-410/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-410.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-410/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-410.pdf GAO-05-410 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-410 Other Written Product GAO-05-410; National Park Service: Revenues Could Increase by Charging Allowed Fees for Some Special Uses Permits; Administrative costs National parks National recreation areas Photography Recreation areas User fees Fiscal policies Policy evaluation Public Law 108-108
