Notice of Availability of Director's Orders 53, the Revised Guidance for All Special Park Uses in Units of the National Park Service

Résumé

The National Park Service (NPS) has available for public review, the proposed revised guidance document for all special park uses in units of the NPS. This information was developed to provide guidance to managers in all units of the National Park System who deal with requests for special park uses including but not limited to special events, utility rights-of-way including those for telecommunication antenna sites, commercial filming and photography, and other uses. At the end of the review period, this material will appear as a Director's Order for Special Park Uses distributed to all NPS units. This document will provide guidance to park managers concerning all aspects of requests for special park uses in the National Park System, from the initial contact, through on-scene protection of resources, and ending with complete recovery and restoration of the site. This document will supersede and replace the existing Director's Order 53A dealing only with telecommunications, and consist of a concise treatment of the entire subject of special park uses. Copies of the proposed guidance document will be made available upon request by writing: Chip Davis, National Park Service, Ranger Ac
