Superintendent's Compendium

A compendium is a written compilation of designations, closures, permit requirements and other restrictions imposed under discretionary authority found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

Compendiums have always been a tool to help manage national parks. The compendium, as part of the park-related regulations, helps provide for the enjoyment, use and protection of our national parks.

The Minidoka National Historic Site 2019 Superintendent's Compendium (0.5MB PDF) is an official document that is enforceable.
