Change in Organizational Title From Regional Director to Field Director

The National Park Service (NPS) amended the General Provisions Definition of ``Regional Director'' to reflect a new organizational structure on November 3, 1995. With the recent reorganization of the NPS eliminating existing geographic regions (effective May 15, 1995), the term Regional Director is no longer an agency job position. The duties and responsibilities of these positions have been assumed by Field Directors. The amendment to the definitions replaced the term Regional Director with Field Director wherever it appeared in 36 CFR Parts 1-199, as well as eliminated all reference to the former geographic regions. This change was necessary because the terms Region and Regional Director are no longer recognized in the NPS reorganizational structure. Certain responsibilities and delegations of authority associated with the former Regional Directors are now assumed by the positions identified by the term Field Director. Publication of this change is also a requirement of the Federal Register Act. Unfortunately, the necessary amendments to 36 CFR Part 6 were inadvertently omitted from the original document and are addressed through this administrative amendment to the final rule.
