Sec. 5936. Integration of study results into management
decisions
The Secretary shall take such measures as are necessary to assure
the full and proper utilization of the results of scientific study for
park management decisions. In each case in which an action undertaken by
the National Park Service may cause a significant adverse effect on a
park resource, the administrative record shall reflect the manner in
which unit resource studies have been considered. The trend in the
condition of resources of the National Park System shall be a
significant factor in the annual performance evaluation of each
superintendent of a unit of the National Park System.
