DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Availability of Director’s

Order Concerning Accessibility for

Visitors With Disabilities in National

Park Service Programs, Facilities and

Services

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public Notice.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service

(NPS) is updating its policies and

procedural guidance concerning

accessibility for visitors with disabilities

in NPS programs, facilities and services.

It is the goal of the NPS to ensure that

all people, including the estimated 54

million citizens with disabilities, have

the highest level of accessibility that is

reasonable to our programs, facilities

and services in conformance with

applicable laws and regulations.

Directors Order #42 establishes

operational policies and procedural

guidance concerning accessibility for

visitors with disabilities in NPS

programs, facilities and services.

DATES: Information from interested

parties will be accepted until February

23, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send information or

suggestions to David Park, National Park

Service, Park Facility Management

Division, 1849 C Street, NW, Room

7252, Washington, D.C. 20240.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David Park at 202/565–1255.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 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. Visitor accessibility policies

were first addressed in Special Directive

83–3, issued in 1983. Those policies

were subsequently updated in the 1988

NPS Management Policies. The five

objectives of Director’s Order #42 are to:

1. Institutionalize within the day-today operation of the NPS, the policies,

organizational relationships and

implementation strategies necessary to

accomplish the long range goal of

providing the highest level of

accessibility that is reasonable for

people with disabilities in all programs,

facilities and services;

2. Provide further guidance and

direction regarding the NPS

interpretation of laws and policies;

3. Establish a framework for the

effective implementation of actions

necessary to achieve the highest level of

accessibility that is reasonable;

4. Encourage the implementation of

‘‘universal design’’ principles within the

NPS; and

5. Promote the infusion of access for

persons with disabilities into the day-today operation of the NPS, rather than as

a ‘‘separate’’ or ‘‘special’’ program.

Organizations and individuals with

an interest in NPS policy and

procedural guidance concerning

accessibility for visitors with disabilities

in NPS programs, facilities and services

are invited to provide information or

suggestions that should be considered

by NPS during the review process. The

proposed Director’s Order #42 is posted

at http://www.nps.gov/refdesk/DOrders/

index.htm#drafts. If you are unable to

access the Internet, and would like to

receive a copy by mail, please contact

David Park at the address given above.
