Notice of Availability of Director's Order Concerning Relationships Between the National Park Service and Cooperating Associations

Resumo

The National Park Service (NPS) is converting and updating its current system of internal instructions to a three-level system consisting of: (1) NPS Management Policies; (2) Director's Orders; and (3) Reference Manuals/Handbooks and other helpful information. When these documents contain new policy or procedural requirements that may affect parties outside the NPS, this information is being made available for public comment. Director's Order #32 establishes operational policies and procedural guidance concerning relationships between the NPS and Cooperating Associations. Cooperating Associations are private, nonprofit organizations that provide educational services in many areas of the National Park System.
