Ticket in national park

Location: Hawaii
I acquired a drone recently and unknowingly flew it at a location in a national park which I later got to know was restricted and got a ticket. It is 100% my fault and will be more careful in the future.

The ticket (violations notice) lists 36 CFR 2 17 (a) (b) as the offence with Box B checked and a forfeiture amount listed. I want to proceed with paying that amount but my concern is:

Would paying this amount somehow get reflected on my record? I work in an industry where background checks and common and I don't want this to get flagged
