Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We are estimating 38,465 responses totaling 12,182 annual burden hours, which is a net increase of 21,065 responses and a net decrease of 369 burden hours from our previous submission. Based on our experience in administering the information collection, our outreach, and an improved method for tracking permits, we decreased our number of responses, reduced completion times, and more accurately reported respondent groups. We are reporting as adjustments, a net increase of 715 responses and a net decrease of 5,457 annual burden hours as follows: • Form 10-930 – net decrease of 5,700 responses and 6,651 burden hours. This includes a decrease of 5,200 responses totaling 3,900 burden hours as a result of creating the new short application form 10-930s. • Form 10-930s – increase of 5,200 responses totaling 1,300 burden hours. These are respondents who previously completed the long form (10-930). • Form 10-931 – increase of 655 responses and a net decrease of 336 annual burden hours. • Form 10-932 – increase of 560 responses and 230 burden hours. We are reporting as a program change, an increase of 20,350 responses and 5,088 annual burden hours associated with new Form 10-933. This form provides parks that allow over sand/off-road vehicle or watercraft activities with an approved form to collect the information and brings NPS into compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. We are estimating nonhour burden costs of $2,884,875, a net increase of $1,144,875 from our previous submission. We decreased our estimated average application fee from $100 to $75 to more accurately portray the application fees associated with this collection. We are reporting as an adjustment, a net decrease of $381,375 associated with the decrease in the average fee and a decrease in the number of responses. We are reporting an increase of $1,526,250 associated with fees for the new Form 10-933.
