SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is converting and updating its 
current system of internal instructions. When these documents contain

to guide NPS acceptance of private sector support.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS is revising the policies and 
procedures that guide its acceptance of donations and its relationships 
to those who desire to raise private sector support to benefit parks 
and programs. To accomplish this, the fundraising policies included in 
National Park Service Management Policies (1988) are being revised and 
Special Directive 95-12, Special Directive 89-2, Staff Directive 84-1, 
and the October 15, 1986, Policy on Fundraising and Philanthropy will 
be rescinded. The new policies for donations and fundraising will be 
issued as Director's Order #21, in conformance with the new system of 
NPS internal guidance documents.
