On November 26, 2008, U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) published a final rule at 73 FR
72275 improving the Department of
Homeland Security’s ability to detect
and deter fraud and other abuses in the
religious worker program. This rule
included revisions to two public use
forms:
• Form I–360, Petition for Amerasian,
Widow(er) or Special Immigrant, and
• Form I–129, Petition for a
Nonimmigrant Worker.
USCIS inadvertently left out the form

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

36 CFR Part 7
RIN 1024–AD74
Special Regulations; Areas of the
National Park System
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
yshivers on PROD1PC63 with RULES
SUMMARY: This rule will manage winter
visitation and recreational use in
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National
Parks and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
Memorial Parkway. Publication of this
final rule in the Federal Register
complies with the November 7, 2008
order of the U.S. District Court for the
District of Wyoming in Wyoming v.
United States Department of the
Interior, Case Nos. 07–CV–0319–B, 08–
CV–00004–B, which reinstated the 2004
final rule on winter use in the parks,
without its sunset provisions.
DATES: This regulation is effective
December 9, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
Sacklin, Management Assistant’s Office,
Yellowstone National Park, 307–344–
2019.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule
was originally published in 2004 to
provide a framework for managing
winter use in the parks while the
National Park Service (NPS) prepared a
long-term winter use plan and EIS for
the parks. Because NPS intended to
supersede the 2004 rule with a longterm rule after 3 years, the actual
authorizations of snowmobile and
snowcoach use and the designation of
routes for those uses contained
provisions ending those authorizations
and designations after the winter of
2006–2007 (‘‘sunset provisions’’). In
2007, NPS completed the long-term
process, publishing a final rule
implementing the decision in the
Federal Register on December 13, 2007.
The 2007 rule was challenged by
several environmental groups in a
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Columbia, Greater
Yellowstone Coalition v. Kempthorne,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:56 Dec 08, 2008
Jkt 217001
Civ. Nos. 07–2111 and 07–2112 (EGS),
and by the State of Wyoming and others
in the above-cited lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the District of
Wyoming. On September 15, 2008, the
D.C. District Court issued a decision
vacating and remanding the 2007 final
rule.
On November 3, 2008, NPS released
a Winter Use Plans Environmental
Assessment (EA), and on November 5,
2008, NPS published a proposed rule
that would have managed winter use in
the parks for three winter seasons.
Public comments were accepted on the
EA until November 17 and on the
proposed rule until November 20.
Subsequent to the publication of that
proposed rule, on November 7, 2008,
the Wyoming District Court issued an
order finding that ‘‘equity requires
reinstatement of the 2004 temporary
rule to provide some semblance of order
in this disordered and confusing state of
affairs.’’ Accordingly, the Court ‘‘[found]
it appropriate to reinstate the 2004
temporary rule without the sunset
provision’’ and that ‘‘[t]his will provide
businesses and tourists with the
certainty that is needed in this
confusing litigation.’’ On November 19,
2008, the Wyoming District Court
entered judgment stating it had ‘‘entered
a final order implementing a temporary
rule.’’ The Court thus ‘‘ordered,
adjudged and decreed that * * * the
National Park Service shall reinstate the
2004 temporary rule until such time as
it can promulgate an acceptable rule to
take its place.’’ This publication in the
Federal Register complies with the
court order and provides notice to the
public of the rule now in effect.
Pursuant to the court order, this rule
will be in effect for this winter season,
and will remain in effect until NPS
promulgates ‘‘an acceptable rule to take
its place.’’
The 2004 rule was originally
published at 69 FR 65348 (Nov. 10,
2004) and more information and
explanation of its provisions are
available there.

(l)(1) What is the scope of this
regulation? The regulations contained in
paragraphs (l)(2) through (1)(17) of this
section are intended to apply to the use
of recreational and commercial
snowmobiles. Except where indicated,
paragraphs (l)(2) through (1)(17) do not
apply to non-administrative
snowmobile or snowcoach use by NPS,
contractor or concessioner employees
who live or work in the interior of
Yellowstone, or other non-recreational
users authorized by the Superintendent.
(2) What terms do I need to know?
This paragraph also applies to nonadministrative snowmobile use by the
NPS, contractor or concessioner
employees, or other non-recreational
users authorized by the Superintendent.
Commercial guide means a guide who
operates as a snowmobile guide for a fee
or compensation and is authorized to
operate in the park under a concession
contract. In this regulation, ‘‘guide’’ also
means ‘‘commercial guide.’’
Historic snowcoach means a
Bombardier snowcoach manufactured in
1983 or earlier. Any other snowcoach is
considered a non-historic snowcoach.
Oversnow route means that portion of
the unplowed roadway located between
the road shoulders and designated by
snow poles or other poles, ropes,
fencing, or signs erected to regulate
oversnow activity. Oversnow routes
include pullouts or parking areas that
are groomed or marked similarly to
roadways and are adjacent to designated
oversnow routes. An oversnow route
may also be distinguished by the
interior boundaries of the berm created
by the packing and grooming of the
unplowed roadway. The only motorized
vehicles permitted on oversnow routes
are oversnow vehicles.
Oversnow vehicle means a
snowmobile, snowcoach, or other
motorized vehicle that is intended for
travel primarily on snow and has been
authorized by the Superintendent to
operate in the park. An oversnow
vehicle that does not meet the definition
of a snowcoach or a snowplane must
comply with all requirements applicable
to snowmobiles.
Snowcoach means a self-propelled
mass transit vehicle intended for travel
on snow, having a curb weight of over
1,000 pounds (450 kilograms), driven by
a track or tracks and steered by skis or
