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

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice.

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

SUMMARY: 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 
Activity Division, 1849 C St. NW, Suite 7408, Washington, DC 20240, or 
by calling 202-208-4874.
