Generally at the major park entrances like Yosemite and Yellowstone. All NPs should have em, but some are understaffed, so don't be surprised if there's nobody manning the booth. If that's the case, the Visitor Centers might have em too.

A friend bought one a couple of years ago at Crater Lake in Oregon.
*Fee waiver includes: entrance fees, commercial tour fees, and transportation entrance fees. Other fees such as reservation, camping, tours, concession and fees collected by third parties are not included unless stated otherwise.
Can anyone explain the "third party fees" noted above? that seems a bit strange to me.
