SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS), under its authority at 54 
U.S.C. 100101(a) et seq., has prepared a new Director's Order setting 
forth the policies and procedures that will guide resource stewardship 
in the 21st century. This guidance will form a new framework for 
stewardship decision making within the NPS based upon an overarching 
resource stewardship goal described in the Order.

DATES: Written comments will be accepted until November 18, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Draft Director's Order #100 is available online at: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/DO100 where readers may submit comments

Implementation Coordinator, National Park Service, at 
[email protected], or by telephone at (970) 267-2123.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS is updating its current system of 
internal written instructions. When these documents contain new policy 
or procedural requirements that may affect parties outside the NPS, 
they are first made available for public review and comment before 
being adopted. Director's Order #100 and a reference manual (subsequent 
to the Director's Order) will be issued. The draft Director's Order 
covers topics such as resource stewardship, Service-wide training, and 
decision making.
    Before including your address, telephone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you may 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

Chief, Office of Policy.
