    The National Park Service published the 60-day Federal Register 
notice to solicit public comments on these information collection 
requirements on January 29, 2010 (75 FR 4838). The comment period 
closed on March 30, 2010. No comments were received on this notice.

Department of the Interior (OMB 1024-0029), Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, by fax at 202/395-5806, or by

your comments to Ms. Jo A. Pendry, Chief, Commercial Services Program,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Concessioner Annual Financial Report, 36 CFR Part 51, 
Subpart I.
    OMB Control Number: 1024-0029.
    Expiration Date of Approval: July 31, 2010.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Annually.
    Description of Need: The regulations at 36 CFR Part 51 primarily 
implement Title IV, Section 407 of the National Parks Omnibus 
Management Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-391 or the Act), which requires 
that the Secretary of the Interior exercise authority in a manner 
consistent with a reasonable opportunity for a concessioner to realize 
a profit on his operation as a whole commensurate with the capital 
invested and the obligations assumed. It also requires that franchise 
fees be determined with consideration to the opportunity for net profit 
in relation to both gross receipts and capital invested. The financial 
information being collected is necessary to provide insight into and 
knowledge of the concessioner's operation so that franchise fees can be 
determined in a timely manner and without an undue burden on the 
concessioner.
    NPS has submitted a request to OMB to renew approval of the 
collection of information in 36 CFR Part 51, Subpart I regarding Annual 
Financial Reports. NPS is requesting a 3-year term of approval for this 
collection activity. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person 
is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Estimate of Burden: Form 10-356--Approximately 16 hours per 
response. Form 10-356a--Approximately 4 hours per response.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Form 10-356--150 responses. Form 
10-356a--350 responses.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: One.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,800 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 publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your 
comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public 
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Please refer 
to OMB control number 1024-0029 in all correspondence.

    Dated: July 2, 2010.

NPS Information Collection Clearance Officer.
