Annual Reporting Requirements
Each permit year, CUA holders are required to submit two types of reports for each permit:
1. Annual Report (Form 10-660)
2. Activity Report (Visitor Use Reporting System - VURn)
1. Annual Report (Form 10-660)
CUA holders in all park units must annually submit a completed Annual Report (Form 10-660) on or before February 28th for the prior calendar year. Submission is required even if the CUA holder did not operate under the permit.
- Denali and Glacier Bay CUA holders, and all CUA holders issued a permit through the CUA Online Application and Reporting System (cua.nps.gov/) must use that system to enter Annual Report information. Please note, you will receive a system generated email in February when in the system is open for reporting. You will not be able to enter reports or pay fees in the system until that time.
- CUA holders issued a permit outside of the CUA Online Application and Reporting System (cua.nps.gov/) must email completed reports to akro_cua_admin@nps.gov. Download the current Annual Report here: 2025 Annual Report and Submission Instructions.
Annual Report Deadline: February 28th
