SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS is updating its current system of

provides direction to NPS managers and employees with responsibilities 
for preparing, reviewing, and approving these types of agreements with 
other Federal and non-Federal entities: Federal Intragovernmental 
Agreements, Reimbursable Service Agreements with Non-Federal Entities, 
Financial Assistance Agreements, Cooperative Management Agreements, 
General Agreements, and Funding Agreements with Self-Governance Tribes.
