The National Park Service (NPS) is pleased to provide the public with an opportunity to provide input on proposed changes to the Superintendent's Compendium for Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site.

The Superintendent's Compendium is the summary of park specific rules implemented under Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR). The regulations contained in 36 CFR are the basic mechanism used by the National Park Service to preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources of the park and to protect visitors and property within the park. The Compendium is updated at least annually and serves as public notice related to designations, closures, permit requirements and other restrictions adopted under the Superintendent's discretionary authority. The Superintendent's Compendium does not repeat regulations found in 36 CFR and other United States Code and CFR Titles, which are enforced without further elaboration at the park level.

We invite you to provide public comments on proposed changes to park hours and the appropriateness of organized race events on park roadways for a period of 30 days between January 19, 2021 to February 17, 2021.
