Jim & Ginny--refresher course

The first step in the reg. neg. process is to select a committee to develop the ORV plan/rule. The process and the committee recommended by CBI can be found at the link presented below. Pay close attention to the criteria for representatives and the summary of public comment, starting on page 54. Also look at the committee makeup, appendix c that starts on page 74 of the document.

The first step and the IF is selecting a committee, if a committee cannot be agreed upon reg. neg. stops here and NPS develops their own rule. As you can see from the summary there were a lot of issues with the committee representatives assigned to the committee. The actual comments can be viewed at

As you will see, alot revolves around issues of the legitamcy of some organizations and the lack of complete applications. It is my understanding that all data submitted by the representatives will be made avail. in the Federal Register. The next public comment will be with respect to the final committee selected by the NPS. The committee proposed by the NPS may be the same as the one proposed by CBI or the NPS may make changes. Whatever the decision, it will be published in the federal register and YOU will have another chance to comment.

This being the case, you need to do your homework on the issues surrounding the potential representatives. You will note, that some of the suspect organizations were very successful in getting many letters supporting them as viable representatives. We must be just as vocal with respect to our concerns.

In the meantime, the "memories" letter with copy to CHAC or OBA is important for the time when the committee actually sits down to hammer out a new plan/rule.

These letters can be used by our representatives to demonstrate what is important to us. Furthermore, in the event that reg. neg. fails and the NPS writes their very own rule, these letters tell the NPS what we want. Thank you for those who have written and for those that have not

DO IT NOW!
