Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Park Service relating to "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles".

In plain language: This bill prevents new National Park Service regulations for off-road and motor vehicles in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area from going into effect. By blocking these rules, it ensures that drivers do not have to follow any new restrictions, permit requirements, or route closures proposed by the agency. Instead, the area's existing driving guidelines will remain in place.

What it does

The provisions, in plain language.

  1. Cancels a National Park Service rule about motor vehicle use in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, so that rule no longer has any legal force; the prior rules for driving in that area apply instead.

Who it affects

Who it helps · who it burdens.

Who it helps

  • visitors and motor-vehicle users of Glen Canyon National Recreation AreaThe cancelled rule set the National Park Service's terms for motor vehicle use in this recreation area; voiding it removes whatever those terms required, but the operative text does not state what the rule required, so the concrete effect on any user cannot be determined from the text provided.provisional

Who it burdens

  • National Park ServiceThe agency's rule for motor vehicles in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is stripped of legal effect, undoing its action; under the Congressional Review Act the agency also cannot reissue a substantially similar rule without new authorization, though the text here states only that the rule has no force or effect.provisional
