Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Park Service relating to "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles".
Summary
What This Bill Does
This is a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution that disapproves and nullifies a rule issued by the National Park Service relating to "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles". Under the CRA, once signed into law, the rule has no force or effect and the agency is prohibited from issuing a substantially similar rule without new legislation.
Who Benefits and How
Off-road vehicle (OHV/ATV) users and recreation tourism businesses benefit because the regulatory restriction or requirement imposed by the rule is eliminated. They face fewer compliance burdens and fewer limits on their activities.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The National Park Service and Department of the Interior bear the implementation burden because they lose the specific Glen Canyon motor-vehicle management rule and must manage off-highway vehicle access under remaining park authorities. Non-motorized recreation users, conservation advocates, and visitors concerned about noise, dust, habitat damage, or safety lose the restrictions and enforcement structure the disapproved rule would have provided.
Key Provisions
- Blocks the National Park Service Glen Canyon National Recreation Area motor-vehicles rule from having force or effect.
- Limits NPS from issuing a substantially similar motor-vehicle rule without congressional authorization.
- Directs the practical effect toward preserving or restoring motorized-access options that the disapproved rule would have restricted.
