Abstract: The Division of Permits Management of the National Mall and Memorial Parks is authorized by regulations codified in 36 CFR 7.96(g) to issue permits for public gatherings, including special events and demonstrations, held on NPS property within the National Capital Area. The regulations reflect the special demands on many urban National Capital Area parks used as sites for demonstrations SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2121 and special events. A special event is defined as any presentation, program, or display that is recreational, entertaining, or celebratory in nature (e.g., sports events, pageants, celebrations, historical reenactments, regattas, entertainments, exhibitions, parades, fairs, festivals, and similar events). The term ‘‘demonstration’’ includes demonstrations, picketing, speechmaking, marching, holding vigils or religious services, and all other similar forms of conduct that involve the communication or expression of views or grievances. We use information from NPS Form 10–941 to determine: • Identity of the person(s) or organization(s) requesting authorization to conduct a demonstration or special event, and to determine whether the applicant(s) meets statutory requirements to conduct the activity. • Nature of the proposed activity and whether there is statutory authority to grant permission to engage in it. • Whether the proposed activity is in derogation from park values or purposes. • Relationship between the proposed activity and the primary purpose(s) for which the park area was established and relevant park planning documents. • Whether there is a legitimate NPS need or interest in the proposed activity. • Whether the proposed activity would require a commitment of public resources or facilities, whether such commitments are legitimate and appropriate, and whether they are available. • Long-term or short-term adverse effects caused by the proposed activity on park resources, facilities, or programs. • Need for attaching special conditions or mitigating measures to the permit, if issued. • Total cost to the park of monitoring proposed activity. • Whether a waiver of numerical limitations on the White House sidewalk and/or Lafayette Park should be granted. • Law enforcement resources needed to assure public safety and site security, especially at the White House, during the activity. Depending on the size and complexity of the proposed activity, we may require applicants to submit supporting documents such as: • Site Plan: A complete site plan must be submitted if tents, stages, or any other type of structure are to be placed on parkland. • Sign Plan: The plan will provide the overall size, number, and design of any signs or banners.
