DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Availability of Approved

Director’s Orders 53, the Revised

Guidance for All Special Park Uses in

Units of the National Park Service

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice of approved policy

statement.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service

(NPS) announces approval of Director’s

Order #53, the revised guidance

document for all special park uses in

National Park. This Director’s Order was

developed to provide policy guidance to

NPS managers who deal with requests

for special park uses including but not

limited to special events, utility rightsof-way including those for

telecommunication antenna sites,

commercial filming and photography,

and other uses. This material will

appear as Director’s Order #53, Special

Park Uses, and be distributed to all NPS

units. This document provides policy

and procedures to park managers

concerning all aspects of requests for

special uses in the National Park

System, from the initial contact, through

review and approval of permits, onscene protection of resources, and

ending with complete recovery and

restoration of the site. This document

supersedes and replaces the existing

NPS–53, as well as Director’s Order 53A

dealing only with telecommunications,

and consists of a concise treatment of

the entire subject of special park uses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

October 12, 1999, the NPS published a

notice in the Federal Register (64 FR

55309) that draft Director’s Order #53

was available for public review and

asking for comment. The NPS received

a total of two responses to that notice.

These comments and the NPS responses

are as follows:

Analysis of Comments

Comment: One respondent objected to

use by the NPS of condition number 8

on the existing, pre-printed Special Use

Permit form as being inapplicable in

most circumstances. Condition number

8 dealt with required compliance with

Executive Order 11246, equal

opportunity compliance.

Response: The NPS agrees that

compliance with Executive Order 11246

should not be required of Special Use

Permit holders and is taking steps to

remove that section from the pre-printed

special use permit form.

Comment: One respondent,

commenting on the proposed policy

section dealing with Native American

Rights, pointed out the existence of

additional authorities over and above

what the proposed policy section had

already cited.

Response: The NPS agrees and has

added the additional authorities

suggested. The final Director’s Order

was approved on April 4, 2000. An

electronic copy of the approved order

may be viewed and downloaded from

the internet at URL www.nps.gov/

refdesk/DOrders/index.htm, or a copy

may be obtained by writing: National

Park Service, Ranger Activity Division,

1849 C St. NW, Suite 7408, Washington,

DC 20240, or by calling 202–208–4874.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This policy document is

in effect from the date of approval by

the Director, National Park Service.

Determinations

On the basis of the record 2 developed

in the subject five-year reviews, the

United States International Trade

Commission determines, pursuant to

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930

(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)) (the Act), that

revocation of the countervailing duty

orders on brass sheet and strip from

Brazil and France, and the antidumping

duty orders on brass sheet and strip

from Brazil, Canada, France, Germany,

Italy, and Japan, would be likely to lead

to continuation or recurrence of material

injury to an industry in the United

States within a reasonably foreseeable

time.3 The Commission further

determines that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders on brass sheet

and strip from Korea, the Netherlands,

and Sweden would not be likely to lead

to continuation or recurrence of material

injury to an industry in the United

States within a reasonably foreseeable

time.4

Background

reviews on February 1, 1999 (64 FR

4892) and determined on May 6, 1999

scheduling of the Commission’s reviews

and of a public hearing to be held in
