Abstract:
The Commercial Use Authorization (CUA) application gathers information necessary to determine the qualifications and ability of a business to provide visitor services in a park. Visitor services include, but are not limited to, mountain climbing guides, boat repair services, transportation services, tours, canoe livery operations, hunting guides, retail sales at festivals, fun runs, catering services and dozens of other visitor services. The CUA reporting form collects visitor use information, financial information, and reportable injury information necessary to manage the authorized commercial operations within a park.

Short Statement:
We made adjustments in hour and cost burden estimates because the number of received CUA applications fluctuates on a yearly basis. Over the last three years the NPS has seen an annual increase of approximately 800 CUA applicants. Requirements for CUA Monthly Reports are decided at the park level. Numerous comments were received regarding the new requirement for monthly reporting at KATM. Public concerns were voiced during public meetings with current and potential CUA holders at KATM. The park addressed those concerns by requiring only those CUA holders who provide transportation to the park to submit monthly reports in order to maintain an accurate visitor count. In addition, the individual burden hours were eliminated because all CUA holders are licensed businesses, not individuals. Therefore, all burden for this collection is being reported under the Private Sector category.
