Commercial Use Authorization

Cedar Breaks National Monument is home to many beautiful settings that are ideal for workshops, tours, guided hikes and more. If you are receiving monetary gain by providing these services, you MUST have a Commercial Use Authorization (CUA). CUA’s are only issued after the National Park Service determines that the Commercial Use involved will not impair park values and resources. All Commercial Uses of the park require the submission of an application and fee at least three weeks in advance. If you are unsure if your business requires a CUA please contact us.

 

A Commercial Use Authorization (CUA) is a business permit with the National Park Service. It authorizes you to conduct commercial activities and to provide specific visitor services within a national park. We will only issue CUA for activities that:

  • are an appropriate use of Cedar Breaks National Monument;

  • will have minimal impact on park's resources and values; and

  • are consistent with the park’s purpose, management plans, policies, and regulations.

You must have a CUAs if you or your organization provides services that:

  • take place at least in part in Cedar Breaks National Monument,

  • use park resources, and

  • results in monetary gain.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: New COVID-19 Guidance for Commercial Use Authorizations

You may not conduct commercial activities in the park without a valid CUA or in a manner inconsistent with the terms of the CUA. You must carry a complete copy of your Commercial Use Authorization with you at all times while operating in the park and show the CUA at the entrance station fee booth.
