Notice of Availability of the Reference Manual #32 for Use With 
Director's Order #32 Concerning Relationships Between the National Park 
Service and Cooperating Associations

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public Notice.

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

SUMMARY: 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. Previously, Directors' Order #32 was 
released and Reference Manual #32 is an operational guide for 
implementing this previous document that establishes operational 
policies and procedural guidance concerning relationships between the 
NPS and Cooperating Associations. Cooperating Associations are private 
non-profit organizations that provide interpretive and educational 
services in many areas of the National Park System.

DATES: Written comments will be accepted until November 15, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Glenn Clark, Servicewide Cooperating 
Association Coordinator, Room 7312, National Park Service, 1849 C 
Street NW., Washington, DC.
