Summary

The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to revise its general rule governing the sale and distribution of printed matter to include the free distribution of message-bearing items that do not meet the NPS regulatory definition of "printed matter." This change would give visitors an alternative channel of communication while protecting the resources and values of the National Park System.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
