Summary

Federal agencies that do or help with work affecting the park must talk with and coordinate their plans with the Secretary and the Commission. They must, as much as possible, carry out those activities in line with the park’s rules and in a way that does not harm park resources. No federal agency may issue a permit or license for activity inside the park unless it first decides the activity follows the park’s standards and will not harm park resources.
