Summary
Proposed rule.
The National Park Service proposes to amend special regulations for Big Cypress National Preserve that regulate the use of motorized vehicles off roads. The current regulations refer to a map that identifies areas within the National Preserve where motorized vehicles can be used unless closed by the Superintendent. This map is outdated and does not depict the current boundary of the National Preserve, which was expanded in 1988 by approximately 147,000 acres. This rule would replace references to the outdated map with references to a map showing the current boundary of the National Preserve, with the effect of expanding the areas within the National Preserve where motorized vehicle use could occur, subject to the discretion of the Superintendent.
