All leases must provide for the payment of fair market value rent. The Director may retain rental payments for park infrastructure needs and, in some cases, to provide administrative support of the leasing program. Our authority to collect information for the leasing program is derived from Title 54, United States Code, section 102101 et seq. (54 U.S.C. 102101 et seq.), Title 54 of the United States Code, section 306121 (54 U.S.C. 306121), and Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 18 (36 CFR part 18). For competitive leasing opportunities, the regulations require the submission of proposals or bids by parties interested in applying for a lease. The regulations also require that the Director approve lease amendments, construction or demolition of structures, and encumbrances on leasehold interests.

Abstract In 1976, the NPS initiated a backcountry and wilderness use registration system in accordance with the regulations found at 36 CFR 1.5, 1.6 and 2.10. The objective of the VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:14 May 25, 2017 Jkt 241001 PO 00000 Frm 00118 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 registration system is to provide users access to backcountry and wilderness areas of national parks with continuing opportunities for solitude and primitive and unconfined recreation, while enhancing protection of natural and cultural resources and providing a means of disseminating public safety and outdoor ethics messages regarding backcountry/wilderness travel and camping. NPS backcountry/wilderness program managers, by designating access and travel routes and camping locations, can redistribute backcountry/ wilderness users in response to closures implemented to prevent adverse impacts to natural and cultural resources and/or in response to public safety hazards related to high fire danger, flood, wind, water, snow or ice hazards, bear or other wildlife activity, or other situations that may temporarily close or restrict access to a portion of the backcountry/wilderness. The NPS uses the registration system as a means of ensuring backcountry/ wilderness users receive up-to-date information on outdoor ethics and park regulations which minimize social and resource impacts including, but not limited to, sanitation procedures, food storage, campfire use, campsite selection, as well as wildlife activity, trail conditions and weather forecasts to address concerns for visitor safety. Data collected through the registration process is also an important source of information for first responders in the event of an emergency requiring deployment of search and rescue and/or emergency medical personnel to backcountry/wilderness areas. The registration system also serves to document the spatial and temporal extent, distribution and demographics associated with backcountry/wilderness use and social considerations and perceptions of backcountry/wilderness visitors. All of this information serves as an important resource that informs backcountry and wilderness management and stewardship planning, decision making, and operations. The Backcountry/Wilderness 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 (54 U.S.C. 100101, 100751, 3210102). 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. NPS Forms 10–404, ‘‘Backcountry/Wilderness Use Permit Application’’ and 10–404A, ‘‘Backcountry/Wilderness Use Permit Hangtag’’ are the primary forms used to provide access into NPS backcountry/ E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM 26MYN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The National Park Service leasing program allows any person or
governmental entity to lease buildings and associated property,
administered by the Secretary of the Interior as part of the National
Park System, under the authority of the Director of the National Park
Service. A lease may not authorize an activity that could be authorized
by a concessions contract or commercial use authorization. All leases
must provide for the payment of fair market value rent. The Director
may retain rental payments for park infrastructure needs and, in some
cases, to provide administrative support of the leasing program.
Our authority to collect information for the leasing program is
derived from Title 54, United States Code, section 102101 et seq. (54
U.S.C. 102101 et seq.), Title 54 of the United States Code, section
306121 (54 U.S.C. 306121), and Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 18 (36 CFR part 18). For competitive leasing opportunities, the
regulations require the submission of proposals or bids by parties
interested in applying for a lease. The regulations also require that
the Director approve lease amendments, construction or demolition of
structures, and encumbrances on leasehold interests.
We collect Information from anyone who wishes to submit a bid or
proposal to lease a property. The Director may issue a request for bids
if the amount of rent is the only criterion for award of a lease. The
Director issues a request for proposals when the award of a lease is
based on selection criteria other than the rental rate. A request for
proposals may be preceded by a request for qualifications to select a
``short list'' of potential offerors that meet minimum management,
financial, and other qualifications necessary for submission of a
proposal.

[[Page 24391]]

The Director may enter into negotiations for a lease with nonprofit
organizations and units of government without soliciting proposals or
bids. In those cases, the Director collects information from the other
party regarding the planned use of the premises, potential
modifications to the premises, and other information as necessary to
support a decision on whether or not to enter into a lease.
We also collect Information from existing leaseholders who seek to:

Sublet a leased property or assign the lease to a new
lessee.
Construct or demolish portions of a leased property.
Amend a lease to change the type of activities permitted
under the lease.
Encumber (mortgage) the leased premises.

We use the information to evaluate offers, proposed subleases or
assignments, proposed construction or demolition, the merits of
proposed lease amendments, and proposed encumbrances. The completion
times for each information collection requirement vary substantially
depending on the complexity of the leasing opportunity.
