Summary

This Executive Order directs the Department of the Interior to revise pricing, access, and infrastructure policies for national parks and related lands. The goal is to increase revenue from foreign visitors, enhance affordability and access for U.S. residents, reduce maintenance backlogs, and encourage broader domestic and international use of underutilized parks. The order revokes a 2017 memorandum on diversity and inclusion and calls for agency rule reviews to align with the current administration's recreational access policy.
