SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

objectives of the backcountry use permit

system is to provide campers desiring

access to backcountry areas of national

parks with continuing opportunities for

solitude, while enhancing resource

protection and providing a means of

disseminating public safety messages

regarding backcountry travel. In 1976,

the NPS initiated a backcountry

registration system in accordance with

regulations found at 36 CFR 1.5, 1.6 and

2.10. This system assures campers of

finding routes and campsites which are

not crowded beyond their capacity. The

quality of both the recreational

experience and the physical setting

thereby remain uncompromised.

NPS backcountry program managers,

by designating access routes and

overnight camping locations, can

redistribute campers in response to user

impact, high fire danger, flood or wind

hazard, bear activity or other situations

that may temporarily close a portion of

the backcountry. The NPS may also use

the permit system as a means of

ensuring that each backcountry user

receives up-to-date information on

backcountry sanitation procedures, food

storage, wildlife activity, trail

conditions and weather projections so

that concerns for visitor safety are met.

The Backcountry Use Permit is an

extension of the NPS statutory

responsibilities to protect the park areas

it administers and to manage the public

use thereof (16 U.S.C. 1 & 3). NPS

regulations codified in 36 CFR Parts 1

through 7, 12 and 13, are designed to

implement statutory mandates that

provide for resource protection and

public enjoyment. Several regulations

contain information collection

requirements previously approved by

the OMB (1024–0022).
