Lake Clark National Park & Preserve » Lake Clark-2023 Proposed Superintendent's Compendium Changes » Document List

The National Park Service is taking public comment on the proposed compendium changes for Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LACL) from January 28th through February 26th.

2023 proposed changes to the Superintendent's compendium for LACL consist of the following:
-rescinding the 2021 order related to commercial film permitting.
-adding language pursuant to authority granted under 36Cfr 2.62(b) that would allow for the scattering of human ashes from cremation throughout most of the park without a permit. Some areas such as near buildings and structures and within historic and cultural preservation areas would still require a permit.

The Superintendent's Compendium is the summary of park specific rules implemented under the discretionary authority of the park Superintendent. The park compendium is updated annually and is a written compilation that addressed designations, closures, permit requirements, and other restrictions and/or specifications imposed under the discretionary authority of the superintendent. The Superintendent's Compendium is prepared in accordance with the delegated authority contained within the regulations in Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter I, Parts 1 through 7, as authorized by Title 54, United States Code, Section 100101 and 100751, and establishes regulatory provisions for Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Parts 1 through 6 are general regulations applicable to all areas of the National Park System, and Part 13 contains special regulations specific to individual parks in Alaska.

The park compendium does not contain those regulations found in 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and other United States Codes (U.S.C.) and CFR Titles which are enforced without further elaboration at the park level.
