NPS Staff Monitoring Fees: Depending on the complexity, size, or nature of an event requiring a Special Use Permit, the National Park Service (NPS) reserves the right to require that NPS staff monitor events taking place anywhere on park property. This is to ensure that park resources are protected and that events are safe and enjoyable. When events take place after normal Visitor Center operating hours (9:00AM – 5:00PM), or when there is a shortage of staffing and overtime is required, the NPS will charge an hourly monitoring fee for overtime cost recovery purposes. The rate is $35 per hour per NPS staff person assigned. NPS Staff Monitoring fees are charged in addition to application and location usage fees.
