AI Summary: This is a policy document, specifically an Executive Order (EO 14314) issued by the President regarding national parks policy. This regulation aims to improve national parks by increasing entrance fees for foreign tourists while making parks more affordable and accessible for US residents. The Secretary of the Interior is directed to develop strategies to increase revenue by raising fees for nonresidents, improve park infrastructure using the additional fee revenue, and review existing rules that might restrict recreational access. The order specifically instructs the Secretary to invest in park infrastructure through the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund, encourage international tourism, and prioritize American residents' access to national parks. The order also revokes a previous presidential memorandum from 2017 about diversity and inclusion in public lands and includes standard legal provisions ensuring the order will be implemented consistent with existing laws and subject to available funding. The regulation emphasizes preserving national parks for future generations of American families while creating new opportunities for park enjoyment and maintenance.
