Notice of Intent To Update National Park Service Policies for 
Managing the National Park System

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is updating its policies for 
managing the National Park System. The policies are contained in Part 
One of a document titled Management Policies, which was last published 
in 1988. Interested parties are invited to provide information or 
suggestions that should be considered by the NPS. The NPS expects to 
have a draft of the updated Management Policies available for public 
review and comment by December 30, 1998.

DATES: Information from interested parties will be accepted until 
August 15, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send information or suggestions to Bernard Fagan, National 
Park Service, Office of Policy, 1849 C Street NW, Room 3230., 
Washington, D.C. 20240.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bernard Fagan at [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS is updating the policies that guide 
management of the National Park System. The policies are contained in 
Part One of a document titled Management Policies. In the 10 years 
since the document was last published, new laws, new technologies, new 
understandings of the living and non-living environment, and changes in 
our society have evolved to the point where the NPS's 1988 policies 
must be re-examined and updated where necessary. Some of those 1988 
policies have been updated more recently through Director's Orders, 
which have been made available for public review and comment. 
Organizations and individuals with an interest in NPS Management 
Policies are invited to provide information or suggestions that should 
be considered by the NPS during the review process. The 1988 edition of 
NPS Management Policies that will be updated is posted on the Internet 
at http://www.nps.gov/planning/mngmtplc/npsmptoc.html>. If you are 
not able to access this information by Internet and would like to 
receive a copy through the mail, please contact Bernard Fagan at the 
address listed above. The NPS expects to have a draft of the updated 
Management Policies available for public review and comment by December 
30, 1998. It also will be posted on the NPS Internet site.

    Dated: June 11, 1998.

Chief, Office of Policy.
