In the realm of commercial filming and photography within the scenic bounds of America's national parks, the NPS Form 10-931 emerges as a crucial document. Drafted by the National Park Service, specifically for the iconic Mount Rushmore National Memorial, this form serves as an application for those seeking permission for commercial filming or still photography. Alongside basic contact information, the applicant must detail the project's nature, including a summary of activities, the filming schedule by location, and descriptions of any equipment or props to be used. The necessity of a non-refundable processing fee, unless the project aligns with the exercise of a First Amendment right, underscores the form's comprehensive approach to managing such requests. Furthermore, the prospect of additional costs related to recovery charges, location fees, and the mandatory inclusion of liability insurance adds layers of financial and legal considerations. The form's expiry date, alongside direct contacts provided and the requirement for signatures, emphasizes its temporal validity and the personal accountability of the applicant. Through its detailed inquiries and clear stipulations, the NPS Form 10-931 not only facilitates the logistical and regulatory management of commercial filming within Mount Rushmore National Memorial but also mirrors broader efforts to balance public access, conservation, and commercial interests within America's national parks.
