Attention 2024 CUA Holders

The NPS is delaying the 2024 annual CUA reporting process in order to provide CUA holders with adequate time to compile data necessary to submit the annual report and to ensure the first reporting process via the online CUA system is successful. Annual reports due for operations that occurred during 2024 will be made available to CUA holders for completion starting in February 2025.

CUA holders will receive an email when reports are available. Sufficient time will be given to make management fee payments once submitted annual reports are reviewed and approved by park staff.

Thank you for your patience.

Providing Visitor Services Through CUAs

A commercial use authorization (CUA) allows you to conduct commercial activities within areas managed by the National Park Service. A CUA is required if you provide any goods, activities, or services for park visitors that take place at least in part on lands managed by the NPS; use park resources; and result in compensation, monetary gain, benefit, or profit to you.

Select “Opportunities” from the menu bar above to search through and apply for CUAs avaiable at NPS.
