(g) The state park or parks where the commercial park activity is proposed to occur, as amended; and

(h) Any other documentation or information reasonably requested by the Commissioner regarding the commercial park activity, as requested to be amended.

(2) If the Commissioner determines, in the Commissioner's discretion, that the proposed commercial park activity, as amended, is an appropriate use of the state park or parks; will have a minimal impact on park resources and values; and is consistent with the park purpose, management plans, policies, and all statutes and rules, the Commissioner may amend the existing commercial use authorization. An amendment to any existing commercial use authorization shall not change the expiration date or market fee reporting date of the commercial use authorization. The Commissioner may further deny any request to amend a commercial use authorization for any reason listed in Rule 0400-02-13-.06.
