Abstract: The Organic Act of 1916 (NPS Organic Act) (16 U.S.C. §1 et seq.) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to develop regulations for national park units under the Department’s jurisdiction. The National Park Service (NPS) regulations at 36 CFR Part 9, Subpart B, ensure that non-Federal oil and gas activities on units of the National Park System are conducted in a manner consistent with preserving each unit for the benefit of present and future generations. Operators must submit specific information describing their future development plans, including steps to mitigate the impacts, and must not conduct any operations until they have NPS approval.
