36 CFR Part 7 

RIN 1024–AD40 

Special Regulations; Areas of the 

National Park System, National Capital 

Region 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The National Park Service 

(NPS) proposes to add a regulation 

governing parking violations. The 

addition is needed to address situations 

in which the vehicle’s operator is absent 

when the vehicle is illegally parked. 

The proposed amendment provides that 

a parking citation is subject to fine, 

allows the citation to name the 

registered owner if the operator is not 

present, and creates a rebuttable prima 

facie presumption that the registered 

owner of the illegally parked vehicle 

was the person who committed the 

violation. This proposed rule is similar 

to provisions in the parking laws of the 

District of Columbia, Virginia, and 

Maryland. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

May 21, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by the number RIN 1024–

AD40, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Parking violations on Federal 

parkland administered by the NPS in 

the National Capital Region are 

regulated by 36 CFR 4.12 (traffic control 

devices). This section provides that 

‘‘Failure to comply with the directions 

of a traffic control device is prohibited 

unless otherwise directed by the 

superintendent.’’ Prohibitions included 

within 36 CFR 4.12 are violations of 

handicapped parking signs, no parking, 

parking times limitations, and parking 

outside of marked parking spaces. This 

regulation is routinely used by United 

States Park Police officers and National 

Park Service law enforcement 

commissioned rangers. When a citation 

is issued and the operator is not 

identified on the notice, it results in the 

violation being dismissed if the 

registered owner fails to appear at trial 

and the court declines to proceed. 

Parking spaces on parkland are 

limited in number and are intended to 

provide visitors with safe, convenient, 

and legal areas to park while they visit 

the parks. In urbanized areas of parks in 

the National Capital Region, violation
