Appendix C: Director's Orders

Director’s Orders provide guidance for implementing certain aspects of NPS Management Policies, and are used as a vehicle for updating Management Policies between publishing dates.

In many cases, Director’s Orders are further supplemented by handbooks or reference manuals.

Director’s Orders marked with an asterisk (*) in this list have not been completed as of the publication date of Management Policies. Copies of those that have been completed and those that are completed or added in the future may be obtained by contacting the NPS Office of Policy or the appropriate NPS program office, or by accessing the NPS World Wide Web site at http://www.nps.gov/subjects/policy/index.htm.

Please note that the numbers assigned to some of the Director’s Orders on this list may be revised as the Directives system evolves in the future. A status chart at the web site should be consulted for the most current listing of Director’s Orders.
