For comprehensive information on doing business in Alaska's National Parks, visit the Regional Concessions Office page.

Commercial Use Application Form
The Commercial Use Authorization (CUA) (pdf), new in 2006, replaces the Incidental Business Permit (IBP). The CUA authorizes incidental commercial visitor services that begin and end outside the park. The number of businesses authorized is currently not limited. CUA applications were mailed to all businesses in Alaska that previously held an IBP in 2005. The CUA Interim Guidelines (pdf) give more information about the commercial use and the form.

Lake Clark Specific Provisions
There are three attachments to the CUA interim guidelines that are specific to Lake Clark (Attachments 1 and 2 [Word], Attachment 3 [Word])

Did You Know?
As recently as the 1960s, dog team travel was still the best way to get around Lake Clark country in the winter. Snowmobiles are more common now, but many people still keep sled dogs.
