Appalachian National Scenic Trail; Revisions to Special Regulations

The National Park Service (NPS) is adopting this interim rule to allow the continuation of an existing hang gliding activity on the Appalachian Trail while the agency develops a special regulation to address the activity through public notice and comment rulemaking. The interim rule will allow the Appalachian Trail Project Manager (Project Manager) to renew the Special Use Permit (SUP) of the Water Gap Hang Gliding Club. The Water Gap Hang Gliding Club (WGHGC) has been undertaking this activity at Kirkridge on the AT for over twenty years and the WGHGC's SUP recently expired.
