#POLITICAL BOONDOCKING DEFINITION CODE#
The National Park Service (NPS) is granted broad statutory authority under 54 United States Code (U.S.C.) §100101(a) (formerly 16 U.S.C.1a-1, “Organic Act”). Laws and Policies Allowing the Superintendent to Develop This Compendium The CFR is also available on the Internet at:ĮCFR :: Title 36 of the CFR - Parks, Forests, and Public Property 2. This compendium should be used in conjunction with Title 36 CFR, Parts 1-7, to more fully understand the regulations governing the use and enjoyment of all the areas of the National Park System.Ī copy of Title 36, CFR, can be purchased from the U.S.
This activity can occur, however, only if a written determination shows that the allowed activity does not adversely affect park wildlife, the reproductive potential of a plant species, or otherwise adversely affect park resources. This section, however, requires that a list of activities needing a permit (and a fee schedule for the various types of permits) be maintained by the park.Ī final example is 36 CFR 2.1(c) (1) Preservation of Natural, Cultural and Archeological Resources, which provides the Superintendent the authority to designate certain fruits, nuts, berries or unoccupied seashells which may be gathered by hand for personal use or consumption. The authority granted by the section, however, requires the Superintendent to comply with the Administrative Procedures Act (6 USC Section 551), which requires public notice on actions with major impact on visitor use patterns, park resources or those that are highly controversial in nature.Īnother example is 36 CFR 1.6 Permits, which allows the Superintendent to require a permit for certain uses and activities in the park.
Within some of these Part 1-7 sections and subsections, the Superintendent is granted discretionary authority to develop local rules to be responsive to the needs of a specific park resource or activity, park plan, program, and/or special needs of the general public.Īs an example, 36 CFR 1.5(a) Closures and Public Use Limits provides the Superintendent certain discretion in allowing or disallowing certain activities.
Each of these Parts has many sections and subsections articulating specific provisions. Parts 1 through 6 are general regulations applicable to all areas of the National Park System, and Part 7 contains special regulations specific to individual parks. The regulations contained in 36 CFR, Parts 1-7, are the basic mechanism used by the National Park Service (NPS) to preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources of the park and to protect visitors and property within the park. The Superintendent’s Compendium does not repeat regulations found in 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and other United States Code Titles, which are enforced without further elaboration at the park level. It serves as public notice, identifies areas closed for public use, provides a list of activities requiring either a special use permit or reservation, and elaborates on public use and resource protection regulations pertaining specifically to the administration of the park. The Superintendent’s Compendium is the summary of park specific rules implemented under 36 Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR).
