planning process, and the need for valid

and reliable data as a basis for decisionmaking. Also, a description of planning

as a tool for determining the appropriate

relationship between resource

preservation and public enjoyment has

been added, with some general

principles to highlight the role that

planning plays in accomplishing the

NPS mission. The document has been

re-organized to clarify the relationship

between required elements of various

planning processes and standards for

those elements. These revisions have

involved clarifying and strengthening

the discussions, with no major changes

in policy direction.

The Director’s Order will be

considered for adoption by the NPS

within the next 60 days. Anyone

wishing to provide further comments

may obtain a copy at the address and

telephone number mentioned above, or
