Abstract: The Backcountry/
Wilderness Use Permit is an extension
of the NPS statutory authority and
responsibility to protect the park areas
it administers and to manage the public
use thereof (54 U.S.C. 100101, 100751,
and 320102). In 1976, the NPS initiated
a backcountry registration system by the
regulations codified in 36 CFR 1.5, 1.6,
and 2.10. The NPS regulations codified
in 36 CFR parts 1 through 7, 12, and 13
are designated to implement statutory
mandates that provide for resource
protection and public enjoyment. The
registration system aims to provide
users access to backcountry and
wilderness areas of national parks while
enhancing the protection of natural and
cultural resources by using better
management practices by the park
management. Data collected through the
registration process serves as an
important resource that informs
backcountry/wilderness management
and stewardship planning, decisionmaking, and operations, and provides a
means of disseminating public safety
and outdoor ethics messages regarding
backcountry/wilderness travel and
camping along with continuing
opportunities for primitive and
unconfined recreation. Permitting
enhances the ability of the NPS to
educate users on potential hazards,
search and rescue efforts, and resource
protection. The objectives of the permit
system carried out by park managers are
to ensure:
(1) Requests by backcountry users are
evaluated by park managers per
applicable statutes and NPS regulations.
(2) The use of consistent standards
and permitting criteria throughout the
agency.
(3) To the extent possible, the use of
a single and efficient permitting
document, NPS Forms 10–404
Backcountry/Wilderness Use Permit
Application and 10–404A Backcountry/
Wilderness Use Permit Hangtag, are
used to provide access to NPS
backcountry areas, including areas that
require a reservation to enter where use
limits are imposed per other NPS
regulations. The 10–404AK Alaska
Backcountry/Wilderness Use Permit
Application, is used within Alaskan
park units, Denali National Park and
Preserve and Glacier Bay National Park

and Preserve, due to unique, parkspecific requirements like the additional
permitted methods of travel as regulated
by ANILCA Section 1110(a).
We are proposing to add a new form
10–404C Backcountry/Wilderness Use
Permit Application for Climbing to this
collection. This form will address the
need for a separate permitting system
for climbing in the backcountry and use
the of fixed anchors. This form would
include fields specific to climbing
carried over from the currently
approved form 10–404 Backcountry/
Wilderness Use Permit Application and
additional fields for the use of fixed
anchors while climbing.

Wilderness Use Permit, 36 CFR 1.5, 1.6,
and 2.10.
OMB Control Number: 1024–0022.

Permit Application for Climbing.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.

Individuals, private sector, and state,
local, or tribal government entities
applying to use backcountry and
wilderness areas within units of the
