Abstract: Regulations promulgated at 36 CFR 7.13(l) establish a management framework that allows the public to experience the unique winter resources and values at Yellowstone National Park. These regulations include provisions that allow greater flexibility for commercial tour operators, provide mechanisms to make the park cleaner and quieter than what has been allowed during the previous four winter seasons, reward oversnow vehicle innovations and technologies, and allow increases in visitation. They also require snowmobiles and snowcoaches operating in the park to meet air and sound emission requirements and be accompanied by a guide. In addition, commercial OSV operators are also required to provide a monthly use report and maintain certain records.
