AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Official Insignia, Designation.

    Authority: National Trails System Act, 16 U.S.C. 1241(a) and 
1246c and Protection of Official Badges, Insignia, etc. in 18 U.S.C.

SUMMARY: This notice issues the official trail marker insignia of the 
Appalachian National Scenic Trail. The original graphic image was 
developed and published by the Department of the Interior in 1970. The 
National Park Service has officially used this insignia--and earlier 
variations--since completion of planning documents of the Trail in 
1982. It has been slightly redesigned since then so that lettering and 
framing match other National Trail System markers. The earlier designs 
which are still in use along the Trail are also protected from 
unauthorized uses by this notice. This publication accomplishes the 
official designation of the insignia now in use by the National Park 
Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The primary author of this document is 
Steven Elkinton, Program Leader for National Trails System Programming, 
National Center for Recreation and Conservation.
    The insignia depicted below is prescribed as the official trail 
marker logo for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, administered by 
the National Park Service, Appalachian Trail Park Office, Harper's 
Ferry, WV. Authorization for use of this trail marker is controlled by 
the administrator of the Trail.
