SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

NPS is establishing the system of 

records for the INTERIOR/NPS–34, 

Backcountry and Wilderness Use Permit 

System. The system processes 

applications for permits from members 

of the public, organizations, and other 

business entities interested in obtaining 

permits authorizing access to and use of 

backcountry and wilderness areas 

within the National Park System. The 

system also assists park staff with 

visitors’ education, trip planning, fee 

collection, resource management and 

protection, wilderness stewardship, 

outdoor ethics, recreational use 

planning, law enforcement activities, 

and public safety, including 

preventative search and rescue; 

provides permit holders and 

participants with information about 

parks and their partners; identifies 

permitted trip itineraries; and provides 

reports of activities conducted under an 

issued permit. 

In accordance with its legal 

authorities, NPS may share information 

with Federal, state, local, and Tribal 

agencies for search and rescue and law 

enforcement activities, and status of 

permits to ensure compliance with all 

applicable permitting requirements and 

terms of other official agreements. To 

the extent permitted by law, information 

may be shared with other agencies and 

organizations as authorized and 

compatible with the purpose of this 

system, or when proper and necessary, 

consistent with the routine uses set 

forth in this system of records notice 

(SORN).

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 

embodies fair information practice 

principles in a statutory framework 

governing the means by which Federal 

agencies collect, maintain, use, and 

disseminate individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to records about 

individuals that are maintained in a 

‘‘system of records.’’ A system of 

records is a group of any records under 

the control of an agency from which 

information is retrieved by the name of 

an individual or by some identifying 

number, symbol, or other identifying 

particulars assigned to the individual. 

The Privacy Act defines an individual 

as a United States citizen or lawful 

permanent resident. Individuals may 

request access to their own records that 

are maintained in a system of records in 

the possession or under the control of 

DOI by complying with DOI Privacy Act 

regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, 

and following the procedures outlined 

in the Records Access, Contesting 

Record, and Notification Procedures 

sections of this notice. 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish in the Federal Register a 

description denoting the existence and 

character of each system of records that 

the agency maintains and the routine 

uses of each system. The INTERIOR/ 

NPS–34, Backcountry and Wilderness 

Use Permit System, SORN is published 

in its entirety below. In accordance with 

5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI has provided a 

report of this system of records to the 

Office of Management and Budget and 

to Congress. 

III. Public Participation 

You should be aware your entire 

comment including your personally 

identifiable information, such as your 

address, phone number, email address, 

or any other personal information in 

your comment, may be made publicly 

available at any time. While you may 

request to withhold your personally 

identifiable information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee we will be 

able to do so.
