while enhancing resource protection
and providing a means of disseminating
public safety messages regarding the
backcountry travel.
NPS backcountry program managers,
by designating access routes and
overnight camping locations, can
redistribute campers in response to user
impact, high fire danger, flood or wind
hazard, bear activity or other situations
that may temporarily close a portion of
the backcountry. The NPS may also use
the permit system as a means of
ensuring that each backcountry user
receives up-to-date information on
backcountry sanitation procedures, food
storage, wildlife activity, trail
conditions and weather projections so
that concerns for visitor safety are met.
The Backcountry Use Permit is an
extension of the NPS statutory authority
responsibility to protect the park areas
it administers and to manage the public
use thereof (16 U.S.C. 1 and 3). NPS
regulations codified in 36 CFR parts 1
through 7, 12 and 13 are designated to
implement statutory mandates that
provide for resource protection and
pubic enjoyment. The Backcountry Use
Permit is the primary form used to
provide access into NPS backcountry
areas including those areas that require
a reservation to enter where use limits
are imposed in accordance with other
NPS regulations. Such permitting
enhances the ability to the NPS to
education users on potential hazards,
search and rescue efforts, and resource
protection.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals wishing to use backcountry
areas within national parks.
Estimated Average Number of
Responses: 285,000 annually.
Frequency of Response: 1 per
respondent.
Estimated Average Time Burden per
Respondent: 5 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Reporting
Burden: 23,750 hours.
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 being 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
