SUMMARY: This notice issues the official trail marker insignia of the 
Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. The original graphic image was 
developed as part of the Trail's comprehensive management and use plan 
in 1992. The National Park Service has officially used this insignia--
and subsequent variations--ever since. It has been slightly redesigned 
since then so that lettering and framing match other National Trails 
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.

Steven Elkington, Program Leader for National Trails System 
Programming, National Center for Recreation and Conservation.
