internal written instructions. When these documents contain new policy
or procedural requirements that may affect parties outside the NPS,
they are first made available for public review and comment before

to the Director's Order) will be issued. The draft Director's Order
provides direction to NPS managers and employees with responsibilities
for ensuring visitor use opportunities (facilities, transportation
systems, information and communication technology, interpretive and
educational programs and services, and commercial services) are
accessible and inclusive to visitors with disabilities.
