Department of the Interior Fall 2017 Semiannual Agenda and Regulatory Plan
Supplemental Instructions
Submit the Agenda and Regulatory Plan by memorandum through your Assistant Secretary to the Director, Office of Executive Secretariat and Regulatory Affairs by September 5.
General Instructions:
NEW REQUIREMENT: Bureaus must update ROCIS with changes to the regulatory
agenda. Bureaus are responsible for their own ROCIS data entry. Bureaus must categorize each rule as deregulatory, regulatory, exempt, waived, or other. (See definitions for these categories in Attachment 3 to the EOP memorandum. "Regulatory" means a significant regulatory action or significant guidance document). ROCIS has added a dropdown menu for this E.O 13771 categorization. Changes may be made in ROCIS at any time before the agenda is locked.
The Agenda submission should provide an exhaustive list of the regulatory activities planned for the year (e.g. Civil Penalties annual adjustments must publish no later than January 15). The submission must be comprised of: o Change Report: Generated from ROCIS after edits are made by the bureaus.
o Redlined Agenda Review Report: Print the Agenda Review Report for your bureau from ROCIS (contact OES if you do not know how to do this). Mark changes to the Agenda Review Report in red ink, as we have done during previous agenda cycles.
o NEW REQUIREMENT: List of all RINs (including title of action), ranked in priority order. All new RINs must be approved by your Assistant Secretary.
o E.O. 13771 Primary Worksheet
o E.O. 13771 ICR Worksheet
The Plan submission will be comprised of:
o Clean Document
o E-copy to OES All of the documents in the Agenda and Plan submissions must be surnamed by the
bureau Director and Assistant Secretary.
To meet OMB's submission deadline, we (the Office of Executive Secretariat and Regulatory Affairs) must have all of your materials by September 5. If you cannot submit your official agenda and plan by the deadline, please contact us immediately.
Plan Submission:
A narrative plus a select few "core priority" regulations
Summarize regulatory and deregulatory priorities
Predecisional - Do not distribute
o Address recent legislative and programmatic activities o Present aggregated number of regulatory and deregulatory actions Describe the most important significant regulatory and deregulatory actions for the upcoming year (through October 18, 2018): o Group your regulations by the 13771 designations (deregulatory, regulatory,
exempt, waived, or other). o Within each 13771 category, group by stage of rulemaking (prerule, proposed
rule, final rule). o Provide preliminary cost estimates for 13771 actions. o Do not include actions likely to be completed before October 2017. If you designate a regulation as a Regulatory Plan entry, it must:
o Be significant, as defined by Executive Order 12866.
o "Embody the core of [the Department's] regulatory priorities," as required by the Regulatory Plan instructions.
o Contain a Statement of Need (Sec. 4(c)(1)(D) of EO 12866)* o Include preliminary cost estimates for 13771 actions.*
*Supply this data in ROCIS; don't add it to your plan narrative.
Agenda Submission:
If you designate a rule as a Regulatory Plan entry, you must supply the additional
information required by the OMB regulatory plan guidelines. Supply this data in ROCIS; don't add it to your plan narrative.
Be sure that each required data element for a final rule doesn't have any items checked as "undetermined."

ABSTRACT:
The final rule published December 12, 2016 (81 FR 89850) and became effective January 11,2017. The final rule was nullified by a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act, signed by the President on March 27, 2017 (Pub. L. 115-12). This action conforms to Public Law 115-12 by changing the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the regulations as they existed before the effective date of the final rule that was nullified under the Congressional Review Act.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF DEADLINE:
ABSTRACT:
This Proposed Rule would rescind the Bureau of Land Management's 2015 Final Rule, Oil and Gas; Hydraulic Fracturing on Federal and Indian Lands (2015 Final Rule). Consistent with the President's January 30, 2017, Executive Order on Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs, the Department of the Interior has been reviewing existing regulations to determine whether revisions or rescissions are appropriate to streamline the regulatory process and eliminate duplicative regulations. As part of this process, the Department has determined that the 2015 Final Rule does not reflect those policies and priorities, and therefore is proposing to rescind the 2015 Final Rule.

ABSTRACT:
This Proposed Rule would revise or rescind the Bureau of Land Management's 2016 Final Rule, Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation. Consistent with the President's March 28, 2017, Executive Order on Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth, the Department of the Interior has been reviewing existing regulations to determine whether revisions or rescissions are appropriate to promote the development or use of domestically produced energy resources. As part of this process, the Department is reviewing the 2016 Final Rule and expects to propose a rule to determine whether revision or rescission of the 2016 Final Rule is appropriate or necessary due to its regulatory burden on American energy production and State and local jobs.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF DEADLINE:
ABSTRACT:
This proposed rule would temporarily suspend and delay certain requirements contained in a final rule that published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2016 (81 FR 83008). The final rule went into effect on January 17, 2017. Some of its provisions have delayed implementation dates that have not yet gone into effect. The delays and suspensions are consistent with the President's March 28, 2017, Executive Order on Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth and its requirement that the BLM review the previous, related final rule to determine whether revisions, rescissions, or suspensions are appropriate. The proposed rule would suspend until July 17, 2019, provisions pertaining to: waste minimization plans; flaring and venting of gas during drilling and production operations, and during well completions and related operations; determining the emissions levels of storage vessels; and minimizing gas vented during downhole well maintenance and liquids unloading. The proposed rule would delay until July 17, 2019 (or by 18 months) provisions pertaining to: gas capture; measuring and reporting gas volumes vented and flared; existing approvals to flare royalty free; replacing pneumatic controllers; and leak detection and repair.

ABSTRACT:
In June 2015, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) proposed to incorporate by reference the Seventh Edition of the American Petroleum Institute's (API) Specification "Offshore Pedestal-Mounted Cranes" (API Spec 2C) into BSEE regulations. This standard was rewritten by API to provide more detailed specifications for design and manufacture of pedestal-mounted cranes to address their intended use. The final rule will allow BSEE to reference the best and most up-to-date requirements for the safe design and construction of pedestal-mounted cranes for Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) fixed platforms.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF DEADLINE:
ABSTRACT:
The current part 254 regulations, mandated under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990) and promulgated in 1997, establish the procedures by which the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) requires, reviews, and approves oil spill response plans (OSRP). Since the regulations were initially promulgated, there have been many significant improvements across the national response system and also advances in response technologies. Specifically, this notice will provide an update based on lessons learned from the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, two decades of agency oversight, and extensive research conducted by BSEE. BSEE will seek public comment through this ANPRM on the results and recommendations of the latest regulatory study, Worst Case Discharge and Oil Spill Response Equipment Capabilities Analyses for Offshore Oil and Gas Facilities, commissioned by BSEE specifically to inform potential updates to 40 CFR part 254.

ABSTRACT:
This supplemental proposal will seek additional comments on the proposed adjustments to 31 cost recovery fees to allow the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement to recover the full costs of the services it provides to the oil and gas industry. It complies with the Independent Office Appropriations Act of 1952, which established that government services should be self-sustaining to the extent possible, and with OMB Circular A-25, which requires federal agencies to biannually review user charges and to determine whether new fees should be established for agency services. Rulemaking is the only method available to update these fees and comply with the intent of Congress to recover government costs when a special benefit is bestowed on an identifiable recipient.

The final rule was nullified by a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act, signed by the President on February 16, 2017 (Pub. L. 115-5). This action conforms to Public Law 115-5 by changing the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the regulations as they existed before the effective date of the final rule that was nullified under the Congressional Review Act.

ABSTRACT:
In carrying out our responsibility to safeguard migratory waterfowl protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, we propose to revise the regulations regarding permit exceptions for captive-reared mallard ducks. We take this action to address our concerns about conflicts that result from the intermingling of captive-reared mallards with wild ducks in the United States. We may place restrictions on the release of free-ranging (hereafter, free-flying) captivereared mallards and shooting of free-flying captive-reared mallards to conform to hunting seasons and bag limits for wild mallards.

ABSTRACT:
We propose to update regulations that tell States how to apply for and receive grants from the Clean Vessel Act program. The program provides funds for States to install facilities for boaters to dispose of septic waste from recreational vessels with holding tanks, and to provide information and education on the use, location, and benefits of pump-out facilities. The rule would codify guidelines from 1994 and combine them with revised regulations from 1994 and 1997. The revisions would reflect changes in the U.S. Code, improve program management and understanding, and update information based on experience and current technology. The Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council, a group chartered by the Federal Advisory Committee Act, published a June 2008 report that identified 30 recommendations for improving the program in the areas of administration, reporting, funding, project maintenance, and operation.

ABSTRACT:
We propose regulations governing the use of raptors (birds of prey) in abatement activities. Abatement is the use of trained raptors to flush, haze, or take birds (or other wildlife, when allowed) to mitigate depredation problems, including threats to human health and safety. We allowed this activity beginning with publication of Migratory Bird Permit Memorandum 5, dated August 22, 2007. We propose to promulgate regulations that provide a new permit and better guidance for the activity, rather than continuing to issue Special Purpose permits for it.

We propose to revise the regulations regarding captive-bred migratory waterfowl and other game birds (those species for which hunting regulations are established in 50 CFR 20.11). We take this action to address public concerns resulting from a final rule we published on March 1,2010 (75 FR 9316), which revised the regulations for the muscovy duck (Cairina moschata), and to consolidate and simplify permitting for captive-bred game birds. We also propose to combine Special Purpose Game Bird permits with Waterfowl Sale and Disposal permits, and to establish a permit exemption for domesticated varieties of ducks that are readily distinguishable in appearance from wild members of their species and to prohibit their release to the wild.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF DEADLINE:
ABSTRACT:
The Service is refining its management objectives for bald eagles and golden eagles, and made revisions to eagle nonpurposeful take permit regulations and eagle nest take regulations. In April 2012, the Service published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit preliminary public input on possible revisions to the permit regulations. In 2014, the Service published a notice of intent to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement and held five public scoping meetings around the United States. Based on comments received on the ANPRM, public input received during the 2014 public scoping process, and internal agency scoping, the Service addressed a variety of topics in this rule, including but not limited to: eagle population objectives; programmatic permit standards and duration; criteria for eagle nest removal permits; compensatory mitigation; refinement of the low-risk permit category; and adaptive management and monitoring.

ABSTRACT:
This proposed rule will address how we count multi-year hunting and fishing licenses for States to report total license holders for their annual apportionments from the Service's Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration (WSFR) Trust Funds under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration and Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Acts. These funds go to support grants and cooperative agreements that fund projects that conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, their habitats, and the hunting, sport fishing, and recreational boating opportunities they provide. State fish and game agencies have repeatedly asked for action on this issue, so initiation of an action to change inadequate language in our current implementing regulations is not controversial.

We will make a final determination to designate critical habitat for three Hawaiian plant species (Mezoneuron kavaiense, Isodendrion pyrifolium, and Bidens micrantha ssp. ctenophylla) under the Endangered Species Act. These three species are listed as endangered. We are correcting maps for four other listed plant species with currently designated critical habitat. These species are found in seven multispecies critical habitat units on lands owned by the U.S. National Park Service, State of Hawaii, County of Hawaii, and private interests. Fifty-five percent of the area is already designated as critical habitat for previously listed plant and animal species.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF DEADLINE:
ABSTRACT:
We propose to revise our general permitting regulations, primarily to propose increases in permit application fees for various programs to better reflect the Service's costs for reviewing permit applications. Most of the permit application fees have not been amended since 2005. While a portion of the proposed fee increases are to address rising operational costs, the increases also reflect increased complexity in evaluating some application types and the need for improved technology to better streamline the process and reduce burdens on the permitted communities. In addition, the proposed fee increases are to be more in line with OMB circular A25. We also propose several changes to clarify the permit application reconsideration and appeal process, to correct contact information, and to make other minor changes. Permits to be affected are those that allow people to carry out otherwise prohibited activities under the Endangered Species Act, Lacey Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Wild Bird Conservation Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

ABSTRACT:
This rule will add a control order to apply to cattle egrets and barn owls, two introduced and invasive migratory bird species in Hawaii. The ranges of both species have expanded to occupy all of the Hawaiian islands. Both species have been found to prey on endemic endangered or threatened species. Without this order, control of the two species would require issuing depredation permits, which would add to State and Federal agency costs for control activities that will benefit listed species.

ABSTRACT:
FWS proposes to change its regulations in response to mandates from Executive Order 13659, Streamlining the Export/Import Process for America's Businesses, and the Safe Port Act (Public Law 109-347), which lay out the implementation of the International Trade Data System (ITDS). The proposed rule will address changes in declaration requirements and exemptions for wildlife as defined under the Endangered Species Act, including changes needed to operate within the single-window environment of ITDS, which enables interfacing with other Federal inspection agencies. The proposal will also clarify prior notification requirements and clearance and clearance refusal options, and add the ability for FWS to offer a conditional release of certain wildlife in order to coordinate release activities under ITDS among agencies operating at the borders.

ABSTRACT:
The final rule published August 5, 2016 (81 FR 52248), and became effective September 6, 2016. The final rule was nullified by a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act, signed by the President on April 3, 2017 (Pub. L. 115-20). This action conforms to Public Law 115-20 by changing the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the regulations as they existed before the effective date of the final rule that was nullified under the Congressional Review Act.

ABSTRACT:
We begin a process of directing State fish and wildlife agencies on how to receive funds and implement conservation projects under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act. Under these Acts, we distribute annual apportionments to States from trust funds derived from excise tax revenues and fuel taxes. We will publish an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) with a proposed rule (NPRM). This is the first of a four-phase rulemaking. This phase will introduce some more difficult topics for discussion and future resolution via the ANPRM, while using the NPRM to propose changes to definitions; changes regarding topics such as predator control, real property, program income, matching funds requirements, and program symbols; and updates for consistency with 2 CFR 200. We will post additional information, when it is available, at https://fawiki.fws.gov/display/WRR.

This proposed rule would also establish certain prohibitions on the taking of polar bears by Alaska Native peoples from this population and establish new reporting requirements. This action is necessary to ensure the total allowable take, apportioned to the United States under the Agreement, is not exceeded

This rule does not increase, decrease, or in any other way change the critical habitat designations from which we are removing the textual descriptions of boundaries. This action will save taxpayer resources. We are taking this action in accordance with our May 1,2012, revision of the regulations related to publishing textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries in the Code of Federal Regulations and as part of our response to Executive Order 13563 (January 18, 2011), which directs Federal agencies to review their existing regulations and then to modify or streamline them in accordance with what they have learned.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF DEADLINE:
ABSTRACT:
Environ-Metal, Inc., of Sweet Home, Oregon, has applied for approval of shot composed of copper as nontoxic for waterfowl hunting in the United States. The shot formulation is at least 99.9 percent copper by weight, with a corrosion-inhibiting coating to prevent release of copper into the terrestrial or aquatic environments. We have initiated review of the shot as required under the criteria in the nontoxic shot approval procedures in our regulations. Our approval of this shot formulation would increase the nontoxic shot options for hunters of migratory waterfowl.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF DEADLINE:
ABSTRACT:
In an October 17, 2011, order, the U.S. District Court for Alaska enjoined the United States to promptly initiate regulatory proceedings for the purpose of implementing the subsistence provisions in title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) with respect to submerged public lands within Tongass National Forest and directed entry of judgment. To comply with the order, the Federal Subsistence Board (Board) needs to initiate a regulatory proceeding to identify those submerged lands within the Tongass that did not pass to the State of Alaska at Statehood and, therefore, are subject to the subsistence provisions of ANILCA. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) started a review of hundreds of pre-Statehood (January 3, 1959) withdrawals in the marine waters of the Tongass following the Court's order. In April and October of 2015, BLM submitted initial listings of submerged land to the Board. This rule will add those listings to the subsistence regulations to ensure compliance with the Court order. Additional listings will be published as BLM continues its review of pre-Statehood withdrawals.

ABSTRACT:
We will revise the regulations governing the annual Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp Contest (also known as the Federal Duck Stamp Contest). Amendments will take effect for the 2016 contest. Historically, each artwork entry has been required to depict species of migratory waterfowl from a list of 5 or fewer identified as eligible each year. For 2016, each artwork entry must depict species of migratory waterfowl from a list of 5 or fewer identified as eligible, as before, and also include an appropriate non-waterfowl migratory bird species in the artwork design. The revisions will also update or correct common names and spelling of species on our list of contest design subjects, as well as hand-delivery, mail, and Internet site information.

ABSTRACT:
We propose changes to the permanent subsistence migratory bird harvest regulations in Alaska. These changes would enable Alaska Natives to sell authentic native articles of handicrafts or clothing that contain inedible byproducts from migratory birds that were taken for food during the Alaska migratory bird subsistence harvest season. These regulations are being developed under a co-management process involving the Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Alaska Native representatives.

ABSTRACT:
We propose to establish annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2017-18 hunting season. We annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks), within which States may select hunting seasons. This proposed rule provides the regulatory schedule, describes the proposed regulatory alternatives for the 2017-18 duck hunting seasons, requests proposals from Indian tribes that wish to establish special migratory game bird hunting regulations on Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands, and requests proposals for the 2018 spring and summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska. Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide opportunities for recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at levels compatible with migratory game bird population status and habitat conditions.

ABSTRACT:
We propose to establish annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2018-2019 hunting season. We annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks), within which States may select hunting seasons. This proposed rule provides the regulatory schedule, describes the proposed regulatory alternatives for the 2018-2019 duck hunting seasons, requests proposals from Indian tribes that wish to establish special migratory game bird hunting regulations on Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands, and requests proposals for the 2018 spring and summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska. Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide opportunities for recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at levels compatible with migratory game bird population status and habitat conditions.

We propose to make additions to refuge-specific regulations and expand hunting and fishing opportunities for the 2017 to 2018 hunting and sport fishing season. This action is part of an annual update for the National Wildlife Refuge System that ensures adequate public notice of openings and changes. We operate hunting and fishing programs on refuges to implement the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 directives to facilitate compatible priority wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities. The benefits of these changes and openings are the enhancement of conservation stewardship and outdoor recreation, and improvement of the management of game species and their habitats. Costs have been minimized through proper public notification and compliance to the legislative authority and policy.

ABSTRACT:
We are withdrawing our proposed rule to remove 50 CFR 21.46, a regulation that sets forth a depredation order for scrub jays and Steller's jays in Oregon and Washington. We had proposed to remove this regulation as we had received no reports of activities undertaken under the provisions of section 21.46 in the last 10 years. However, we have recently received several reports under this depredation order, so we are now withdrawing the proposed rule.

ABSTRACT:
We continue the process of directing State fish and wildlife agencies on how to receive funds and implement conservation projects under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act. Under these Acts, we distribute annual apportionments to States from trust funds derived from excise tax revenues and fuel taxes. This is the second phase of a four-phase rulemaking. This phase will possibly include response to pending bills before Congress; include some more difficult topics through an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM); and propose changes to more settled topics, including definitions, topics related to the continued Federal connection to the project, audits, third-party labor, and contact information on coordination grants. We will publish an ANPRM with a proposed rule. Further information, as it becomes available, will be posted at https://fawiki.fws.gov/display/WRR.

ABSTRACT:
We continue the process of directing State fish and wildlife agencies on how to receive funds and implement conservation projects under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act. Under these Acts, we distribute annual apportionments to States from trust funds derived from excise tax revenues and fuel taxes. This is the final phase of a four-phase rulemaking. The first three phases will combine a proposed rule (NPRM) with an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM), allowing us to collect comments on more difficult topics through the ANPRM and use the regulatory process to refine direction and gain support. Topics that are less difficult or that have already been resolved and need to move to regulation will be presented in the NPRM. Phase 4 is expected to be the final phase and may include new topics as needed or relevant. We expect to reach conclusion for all topics introduced. The preamble will continue to thoroughly describe the approach and will address topics and progress achieved to date. We will continue to work with our partners to distribute information on participation. Further information, as it becomes available, will be posted at https://fawiki.fws.gov/display/WRR.

ABSTRACT:
FWS periodically updates all regulations for which the FWS Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program is responsible. The National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program regulations were last revised in 2002. Since that time, cost principles, ranking criteria, and grants administration have evolved, and regulations must reflect those changes. The rulemaking process will help FWS communicate important program changes to the public and solicit input on how best to address areas where we have discretion on statute implementation. We expect to publish a proposed and final rule that will target the clarification of Criterion 11 for scoring grant applications in this rule. Currently, criterion 11 is unclear, and we will change it to reflect the consensus in meetings where we have worked to arrive at better guidance for the section.

We propose to make additions to refuge-specific regulations and expand hunting and fishing opportunities for the 2018 to 2019 hunting and sport fishing season. This action is part of an annual update for the National Wildlife Refuge System that ensures adequate public notice of openings and changes. We operate hunting and fishing programs on refuges to implement the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 directives to facilitate compatible priority wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities. The benefits of these changes and openings are the enhancement of conservation stewardship and outdoor recreation, and improvement of the management of game species and their habitat. Costs have been minimized through proper public notification and compliance to the legislative authority and policy.

ABSTRACT:
On May 25, 2016, the District Court for the District of Columbia ordered that both the Aquaculture Depredation Order and the Public Resources Depredation Order for double-crested cormorants be vacated until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) performs a new and legally adequate environmental assessment or environmental impact statement for national cormorant management orders in compliance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The court concluded that the Service did not take careful enough consideration of the effects of the depredation orders on cormorant populations and other affected resources (fisheries, vulnerable species, and habitats) and failed to consider a range of reasonable alternatives in the remanded 2014 environmental assessment. Therefore, this rule removes the regulations setting forth the provisions of the orders at 50 CFR 21.47 and 21.48.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF DEADLINE:
ABSTRACT:
This rule would allow for adaptive management of off-road vehicle (ORV) use at Cape Lookout National Seashore to protect and preserve natural and cultural resources and provide a variety of visitor experiences while minimizing conflicts among user groups. The rule would also designate routes and establish ORV operational requirements and restrictions. This rule is required by the terms of a 2008 court-approved settlement agreement between the NPS and environmental groups. If this rule is not issued, the plaintiffs could re-litigate their claims and a court could require the NPS to stop all off-road vehicle use at the Seashore.
