Abstract: The National Park Service Act of 1916, 38 Stat 535, 54 U.S.C. §100101, et seq., requires that the NPS preserve national parks for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The NPS cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world. Each year, visitors to the various units of the National Park System file reports of lost or found items. The NPS utilizes Form 10-166, “Lost – Found Report” to collect pertinent information from the visitor filing the report in order to properly identify and reunite the owners with their lost items, if found.
