Sec. 1.6  Permits.

    (a) When authorized by regulations set forth in this chapter, the 
superintendent may issue a permit to authorize an otherwise prohibited 
or restricted activity or impose a public use limit. The activity 
authorized by a permit shall be consistent with applicable legislation, 
Federal regulations and administrative policies, and based upon a 
determination that public health and safety, environmental or scenic 
values, natural or cultural resources, scientific research, 
implementation of management responsibilities, proper allocation and use 
of facilities, or the avoidance of conflict among visitor use activities 
will not be adversely impacted.
    (b) Except as otherwise provided, application for a permit shall be 
submitted to the superintendent during normal business hours.
    (c) The public will be informed of the existence of a permit 
requirement in accordance with Sec. 1.7 of this chapter.
    (d) Unless otherwise provided for by the regulations in this 
chapter, the superintendent shall deny a permit that has been properly 
applied for only upon a determination that the designated capacity for 
an area or facility would be exceeded; or that one or more of the 
factors set forth in paragraph (a) of this section would be adversely 
impacted. The basis for denial shall be provided to the applicant upon 
request.
    (e) The superintendent shall include in a permit the terms and 
conditions that the superintendent deems necessary to protect park 
resources or public safety and may also include terms or conditions 
established pursuant to the authority of any other section of this 
chapter.
    (f) A compilation of those activities requiring a permit shall be 
maintained by the superintendent and available to the public upon 
request.
    (g) The following are prohibited:
    (1) Engaging in an activity subject to a permit requirement imposed 
pursuant to this section without obtaining a permit; or
    (2) Violating a term or condition of a permit issued pursuant to 
this section.
    (h) Violating a term or condition of a permit issued pursuant to 
this section may also result in the suspension or revocation of the 
permit by the superintendent.
