Thank you for your interest in obtaining a permit to operate commercial activities at USS Arizona Memorial.

These permits, known as a Commercial Use Authorization (CUA), are issued by the park Superintendent to permit certain commercial activities in National Park Service areas, including USS Arizona Memorial. Permits are required of all operators who provide any and all goods, activities, agreements or other services to the general public which take place, at least in part, in the memorial, uses memorial resources and are undertaken for or results in compensation, monetary gain, benefit or profit to an individual, organization or corporation, whether or not such entity is organized for purposes recognized as non-profit under local, state or federal law.

If you are an individual who is planning a special event or activity in the memorial that does not result in a monetary gain, you are exempt from the commercial use authorization process. However, special events and activities require that you apply for and be granted a special use permit.

We look upon our commercial operators as partners in managing the memorial and its resources. Your services and expertise allow many visitors to undertake activities that enhance their experience and enjoyment while they are at the USS Arizona Memorial. We look forward to working with you to provide quality experiences for memorial visitors.

If you have any questions concerning the Commercial Use Authorization program, please contact CUA Coordinator, David Stransky, at 808-422-2771 X 112.
