DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Preparation of 1996 Strategic Plan for the National Park Service

Agency: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

Action: Notice of public consultation workshops.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: Under the provisions of Section 3 of the Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA), the National Park Service is 
preparing a strategic plan that will provide direction for the 
organization into the 21st century. The strategic plan will include a 
mission statement; general ``outcome-related'' goals and objectives for 
the major functions and operations of the National Park Service; 
descriptions of how the goals and objectives will be achieved; and 
identification of key external factors that could affect achievement of 
the goals and objectives. The strategic plan is due by September 30, 
1996; will cover at least a five-year period; and will be updated every 
three years.
    The National Park Service has periodically set goals to guide its 
activities in carrying out its mission. In 1991, the National Park 
Service undertook a process of self-evaluation, culminating in a 
symposium that identified changes needed to improve service to the 
American people. Those recommendations were published as National Parks 
for the 21st Century: The Vail Agenda. In 1994, the National Park 
Service Strategic Plan: Vision was published to provide broad, long-
term direction for the Service. That document will serve as a starting 
point for the strategic plan to be prepared in compliance with GPRA by 
September 1996. Summaries and complete copies of the 1994 strategic 
plan will be available at the public workshops and can also be obtained 
by writing to Office of Strategic Planning, National Park Service, Post 
Office Box 25287 WASO-STP, Denver, Colorado 80225-0287.

Dates: Public workshops will be held in San Francisco, California, on 
Wednesday, October 25, 1995; in Denver, Colorado, on Thursday, October 
26, 1995; and in Washington, D.C., on Monday, October 30, 1995.
