comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the NPS; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
NPS enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the NPS
minimize the burden of this collection
on the respondents, including through
the use of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that

to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The NPS authorized by the
regulations in 36 CFR 7.13(l) to establish
a management framework that allows
the public to experience the unique
winter resources and values at
Yellowstone National Park. The final
rule includes provisions that allow
greater flexibility for commercial tour
operators, provide mechanisms to make
the park cleaner and quieter during the
winter seasons, reward over-snow
vehicle innovations and technologies,
and allow increases in visitation. It also
requires all over-snow vehicles (OSV)
operating in the park to meet air and
sound emission requirements and be
accompanied by a guide. This rule also
requires that commercial OSV operators
provide the following in a monthly use
report and maintain certain records
relating to:
Emission and Sound Standards
(§ 7.13(l)(4)(vii) and (5)). Only OSVs that
meet NPS emission and sound standards may
operate in the park. Before the start of each
winter season:
(a) Snowcoach manufacturers or
commercial tour operators must demonstrate,

by means acceptable to the Superintendent,
that their snowcoaches meet the standards.
(b) Snowmobile manufacturers must
demonstrate, by means acceptable to the
Superintendent, that their snowmobiles meet
the standards.
Transportation Events (§ 7.13(l)(11)(i)–
(iii)). So that we can monitor compliance
with the required average and maximum size
of transportation events, as of December 15,
2014, each commercial tour operator must:
(a) Maintain accurate and complete records
on the number of snowmobiles and
snowcoaches he or she brings into the park
on a daily basis. These records must be made
available for inspection by the park upon
request.
(b) Provide a monthly use report on their
activities. Form 10–650, ‘‘Concessioner
Monthly Use Report’’, available on the park
website, is used to collect information for
transportation events.
Enhanced Emission Standards
(§ 7.13(l)(11)(iv)). To qualify for the increased
average size of snowmobile transportation
events or increased maximum size of
snowcoach transportation events, each
commercial tour operator must:
(a) Before the start of each winter season,
demonstrate, by means acceptable to the
Superintendent, that his or her snowmobiles
or snowcoaches meet the enhanced emission
standards; and
(b) Maintain separate records for
snowmobiles and snowcoaches that meet
enhanced emission standards and those that
do not.
We will use the information collected
to: (1) Ensure that OSVs meet NPS
emission standards to operate in the
park; (2) evaluate commercial tour
operators’ compliance with allocated
transportation events and daily and
seasonal OSV group size limits; (3)
ensure that established daily
transportation event limits for the park
are not exceeded, (4) confirm that
commercial tour operators do not run
out of authorizations before the end of
the season and create a gap when
prospective visitors cannot be
accommodated, and (5) guarantee
compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.

Abstract: Gathering and removing
plants or plant parts is currently
prohibited in National Park System
areas unless specifically authorized by
Federal statute or treaty rights or
conducted under the limited
circumstances authorized by an existing
regulation codified in 36 CFR 2.1(c).
Regulations codified in 36 CFR part 2
allow the gathering and removal of
plants or plant parts by enrolled
members of federally recognized tribes
for traditional purposes. The regulations
authorize agreements between the NPS
and federally recognized tribes to
facilitate the continuation of tribal
cultural practices on lands within areas
of the National Park System where those
practices traditionally occurred, without
causing a significant adverse impact to
park resources or values. The
regulations:
• Respect tribal sovereignty and
cultural practices,
• further the government-togovernment relationship between the
United States and the Indian Tribes,
• provide system-wide consistency
for this aspect of NPS-Tribal relations.

Abstract: The NPS authorized by the regulations in 36 CFR 7.13(l)

flexibility for commercial tour operators, provide mechanisms to make
the park cleaner and quieter during the winter seasons, reward over-

by a guide. This rule also requires that commercial OSV operators
provide the following in a monthly use report and maintain certain
records relating to:
Emission and Sound Standards (Sec. 7.13(l)(4)(vii) and (5)).
Only OSVs that meet NPS emission and sound standards may operate in
the park. Before the start of each winter season:
(a) Snowcoach manufacturers or commercial tour operators must
demonstrate, by means acceptable to the Superintendent, that their
snowcoaches meet the standards.
(b) Snowmobile manufacturers must demonstrate, by means
acceptable to the Superintendent, that their snowmobiles meet the
standards.
Transportation Events (Sec. 7.13(l)(11)(i)-(iii)). So that we
can monitor compliance with the required average and maximum size of
transportation events, as of December 15, 2014, each commercial tour
operator must:
(a) Maintain accurate and complete records on the number of
snowmobiles and snowcoaches he or she brings into the park on a
daily basis. These records must be made available for inspection by
the park upon request.
(b) Provide a monthly use report on their activities. Form 10-
650, ``Concessioner Monthly Use Report'', available on the park
website, is used to collect information for transportation events.
Enhanced Emission Standards (Sec. 7.13(l)(11)(iv)). To qualify
for the increased average size of snowmobile transportation events
or increased maximum size of snowcoach transportation events, each
commercial tour operator must:
(a) Before the start of each winter season, demonstrate, by
means acceptable to the Superintendent, that his or her snowmobiles
or snowcoaches meet the enhanced emission standards; and
(b) Maintain separate records for snowmobiles and snowcoaches
that meet enhanced emission standards and those that do not.
We will use the information collected to: (1) Ensure that OSVs meet
NPS emission standards to operate in the park; (2) evaluate commercial
tour operators' compliance with allocated transportation events and
daily and seasonal OSV group size limits; (3) ensure that established
daily transportation event limits for the park are not exceeded, (4)
confirm that commercial tour operators do not run out of authorizations
before the end of the season and create a gap when prospective visitors
cannot be accommodated, and (5) guarantee compliance with applicable
laws and regulations.
