Lease of Services, Resources, or Water Available within an Area of the 
National Park System

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is updating its system of 
internal directives. Within this system, NPS Management Policies set 
the broad framework, provide direction, and prescribe the parameters 
for making management decisions. Director's Orders provide specific 
instruction and outline requirements or standards applicable to NPS 
functions, programs and activities. Special Directive 78-2: Sale or 
Lease of Services, Resources, or Water Available within an Area of the 
National Park System was issued as an NPS directive on March 30, 1978. 
The NPS is updating and clarifying Special Directive 78-2 and 
converting it to Director's Order #35: Sale or Lease of Services, 
Resources, or Water Available within an Area of the National Park 
System. The draft Director's Order #35 is available for public review 
and interested parties are invited to provide comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Special Directive 78-2: Sale or Lease of

Park System was issued on March 30, 1978, to establish standards for 
applying the authority in section 3(e) of Public Law 91-383 (84 Stat. 
827). The NPS is revising Special Directive 78-2 to fit the new NPS 
Directive System format and to incorporate new policy and procedure 
decisions made during the intervening time period. Upon final approval 
of Director's Order #35: Sale or Lease of Services, Resources, or Water 
Available within an Area of the National Park System, Special Directive 
78-2: Sale or Lease of Services, Resources, or Water Available within 
an Area of the National Park System will be rescinded.
