Director's Orders and Related Documents |
The National Park Service has several sources of detailed written guidance to help managers make day-to-day decisions. The primary source of guidance is the 2006 edition of Management Policies, which is also the foremost element of the Service’s directives system. Other elements include Director's Orders, Handbooks and Reference Manuals. (See Policy Development for information on how these documents relate to one another.) The listing below shows the status of Director's Orders, Handbooks and Reference Manuals. It also shows related memoranda, directives and guidelines that remain in effect until superseded. |
