美國企業組織取用國家公園內有機物並發展商業使用所獲得之利益，在國家公園管理處目前訂定的計畫定案後，將可能要把獲利交出與國家公園共享。在計畫書中最新的版本裡提到，將近400個國家公園可與共同研究機構達成「福利共享協定」。
企業組織將提供國家公園管理處（NPS）金錢或實物上的補償，作為使用公園資源所得利潤分享，但是國家公園管理處的替代建議是，專利權或是協定中其他財政條款的揭露，可視狀況而定，而非必須。
然而國家資源機構的全國工作者協會「環境責任公職人員組織」（PEER）執行長路克（Jeff Ruch）表示：「我們的國家公園不是企業的實驗室。」 PEER極力主張公園管理處不能同意公園資源作為商業發展。路克說：「如果公園管理處執意要走這條不可靠的路，那就得在光天化日下進行，不要掩蓋關於所有權秘密的交易。」
數以千計的科學家，每年皆以國家公園內的標本進行研究調查。按照規定，這些標本是不可以直接用來作為商業使用或販賣的，但透過研究的標本而得來的知識應用，在商業使用上則不在此限。
目前，國家公園管理處並未針對「福利共享協定」進行協商討論，也就是停留在不採取行動的決定。管理處會繼續發給研究核可，研究標本也會因指定研究目的繼續使用，包括對健康醫療、營養、農業、環境管理、工業或其他有潛在商業或經濟價值的研究，對於新發現提供助益。
The National Park Service is finalizing its plan for profit sharing with corporations that extract organisms from America's national parks and develop commercial uses for those organisms. Under the latest version of the proposal, any of the nearly 400 national parks could enter into a "benefits-sharing agreement” with corporate research firms.
The companies would provide the National Park Service, NPS, with monetary or compensation for any profits derived from use of park resources, but under the alternative preferred by the Park Service, public disclosure of the royalty or other financial terms of these agreements would be optional, not required.
"Our national parks are not corporate laboratories,” said Jeff Ruch, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, PEER, a national association of workers in natural resources agencies. PEER is urging the Park Service not to allow commercial development of park resources. "If the Park Service is determined to walk this treacherous path, it needs to do so in the light of day without deals cloaked in proprietary secrecy," Ruch said.
Several thousand scientists conduct studies each year involving national park research specimens. The commercial use or sale of research specimens themselves is prohibited by regulation, but the commercial use of knowledge derived from specimens through research is not prohibited.
Currently, the Park Service does not negotiate benefits-sharing agreements. This would remain the case under Alternative A, the no action alternative. The Park Service would continue to issue research permits, and research specimens would continue to be usable for approved research purposes - including activities that might lead to discoveries that could be useful for health care, nutrition, agriculture, environmental management, industrial, or other processes with potential commercial or other economic value.
