The Superintendent’s Compendium is the summary of park specific rules implemented under 36 Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR). It serves as public notice, identifies areas closed for public use, provides a list of activities requiring either a special use permit or reservation, and elaborates on public use and resource protection regulations pertaining specifically to the administration of the park. 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.
The regulations contained in 36 CFR, Parts 1-7, are the basic mechanism used by the National Park Service (NPS) to preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources of the park and to protect visitors and property within the park. Parts 1 through 6 are general regulations applicable to all areas of the National Park system, and Part 7 contains special regulations specific to individual parks. Each of these Parts has many sections and subsections articulating specific provisions. Within some of these Part 1-7 sections and subsections, the Superintendent is granted discretionary authority to develop local rules to be responsive to the needs of a specific park resource or activity, park plan, program, and/or special needs of the general public.
As an example, 36 CFR 1.5(a) Closures and Public Use Limits provides the Superintendent certain discretion in allowing or disallowing certain activities. The authority granted by the Section, however, requires the Superintendent to comply with the Administrative Procedures Act (6 USC Section 551), which requires public notice on actions with major impact on visitor use patterns, park resources or those that are highly controversial in nature.
Another example is 36 CFR 1.6 Permits, which allows the Superintendent to require a permit for certain uses and activities in the park. This Section, however, requires that a list of activities needing a permit (and a fee schedule for the various types of permits) be maintained by the park.
A final example is 36 CFR 2.1(c) (1) Preservation of Natural, Cultural and Archeological Resources, which provides the Superintendent the authority to designate certain fruits, nuts, berries or unoccupied seashells which may be gathered by hand for personal use or consumption. This activity can occur, however, only if a written determination shows that the allowed activity does not adversely affect park wildlife, the reproductive potential of a plant species, or otherwise adversely affect park resources.This Compendium should be used in conjunction with Title 36 CFR, Parts 1-7, to more fully understand the regulations governing the use and enjoyment of all the areas of the National Park System.

Laws and Policies Allowing the Superintendent to Develop This Compendium
The National Park Service (NPS) is granted broad statutory authority under Title 54 United States Code (U.S.C.) §100101(a) (formerly 16 U.S.C. 1a-1, “Organic Act”) to “….regulate the use of the National Park System by means and measures that conform to the fundamental purpose of the System units, which purpose is to conserve the scenery, natural and historic objects, and wild life in the System units and to provide for the enjoyment of the scenery, natural and historic objects, and wild life in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” In addition, Title 54 U.S.C. §100751(a) allows the NPS, through the Secretary of the Interior, to “prescribe such regulations as the Secretary considers necessary or proper for the use and management of System units.”
In 1970, Congress amended the NPS Organic Act to clarify its intentions as to the overall mission of the NPS. Through the General Authorities Act of 1970, Congress brought all areas administered by the NPS into one National Park System and directed the NPS to manage all areas under its administration consistent with the Organic Act of 1916.
In 1978, Congress amended the General Authorities Act of 1970 and reasserted System-wide the high standard of protection defined in the original Organic Act by stating “Congress further reaffirms, declares, and directs that the promotion and regulation of the various areas of the National Park System, as defined by Section 1 of this Title, shall be consistent with and founded in the purpose established by Section 1 of this Title, to the common benefit of all people of the United States.”
In addition to the above statutory authority, the Superintendent is guided by established NPS policy as found in the NPS Management Policies (2006). The Superintendent is also guided by more specific policies promulgated by the Director, National Park Service, in the form of Director’s Orders. As stated in the Management Policies, the primary responsibility of the NPS is to protect and preserve our national natural and cultural resources while providing for the enjoyment of these resources by visitor and other users, as long as use does not impair specific park resources or overall visitor experience. The appropriateness of any particular visitor use or recreational experience is resource-based and will vary from park to park; therefore, a use or activity that is appropriate in one park area may not be appropriate in another. The Superintendent is directed to analyze overall park use and determine if any particular use is appropriate. Where conflict arises between use and resource protection, where the Superintendent has a reasonable basis to believe a resource is or would become impaired, than that Superintendent is obliged to place limitations on public use.
Consistency of This Compendium with Applicable Federal Law and Requirements
The Superintendent’s Compendium is not considered a significant rule requiring review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. In addition, this Compendium will not have a significant economic effect on a number of small entities nor impose a significant cost on any local, state or tribal government or private organization, and therefore does not fall under the requirements of either the Regulatory Flexibility Act or the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
The actions and requirements described in this Compendium are found to be categorically excluded from further compliance with the procedural requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in Department of the Interior (DOI) Guidelines 516 DM 6 and as such, an Environmental Assessment will not be prepared.
Development of the Requirements of the Superintendent’s Compendium
As outlined above, the NPS has broad authority and responsibility to determine what types of uses and activities are appropriate in any particular National Park System area. The requirements of the Superintendent’s Compendium are developed through an analysis and determination process. The decision criteria used during this process are:
Is there use or activity consistent with the NPS Organic Act and NPS policy?
Is the use or activity consistent and compatible with the park’s enabling legislation, management objectives, and corresponding management plans?Will the use or activity damage the park’s protected natural and cultural resources and other protected values?
Will the use or activity disturb or be in conflict with wildlife, vegetation, and environmental protection actions and values?
Will the use or activity conflict with or be incompatible with traditional park uses and activities?
Will the use or activity compromise employee or public safety?
Applicability of the Compendium
The rules contained in this Compendium apply to all persons entering, using, visiting or otherwise present on Federally owned lands, including submerged lands, and waters administered by the NPS within the legislative boundaries of the park. This includes all waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, including all navigable waters.
Enforcement of Compendium Requirements
NPS Law Enforcement Park Rangers enforce the requirements of the United State Code, 36 CFR, and this Superintendent’s Compendium.
Penalties for Not Adhering to the Compendium Requirements
A person who violates any provision of the regulations found in 36 CFR, Parts 1-7, or provisions of this Compendium, is subject to a fine as provided by law (18 U.S.C. 3571) up to $5,000 for individuals and $10,000 for organizations, or by imprisonment not exceeding six months (18U.S.C. 3559), or both, and shall be adjudged to pay all court costs associated with any court proceedings. You may receive a list of fines associated with any particular provision by contacting the Superintendent at the park address found below.

In accordance with regulations and the delegated authority provided in Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations (“36 CFR”), Chapter 1, Parts 1-7, authorized by Title 54 U.S.C. §100751, the following provisions apply to all lands and waters administered by the National Park Service, within the boundaries of President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site. Unless otherwise stated, these regulatory provisions apply in addition to the requirements contained in 36 CFR, Chapter 1, Parts 1-7.
Lands at the historic site under direct jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior generally include:
The visitor center and adjacent grounds (415 West Division Street)
The Clinton Birthplace Home and adjacent grounds (117 South Hervey Street)
The Virginia Clinton Kelley Memorial Garden (Located adjacent to the Visitor Center and Clinton Birthplace Home.)
The neighboring homes and parking lot are under the jurisdiction of private owners.
Written determinations, which explain the reasoning behind the Superintendent’s use of discretionary authority, as required by Section 1.5(c), appear in this document identified by italicized print.
36 CFR §1.5 – VISITING HOURS, PUBLIC USE LIMITS, CLOSURES, AND AREA DESIGNATIONS FOR SPECIFIC USE OR ACTIVITIES
(a)(1) The following visiting hours and public use limits are established for all or for the listed portions of the park, and the following closures are established for all or a portion of the park to all public use or to a certain use or activity:
Visiting Hours:
The visitor center is open for public visitation from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Friday through Tuesday. The visitor center is closed on Thanksgiving Day, December 25, and January 1.
The visitor center is open based upon availability of staff.
The grounds, including the Virginia Clinton Kelley Memorial Garden, are open for public visitation and use from 7:00 a.m. until sunset daily.
Determining factors: The grounds and Virginia Clinton Kelley Memorial Garden provide contemplative space for reflection on the history of the site. They are not intended for overnight use.
Public Use Limits:
During interpretive tours of the historic main house, no more than a total of fifteen people are allowed in the house at any one time.
Determining factors: Limiting the total occupant capacity is necessary to guard against structural damage and prevent damage to furnishings, wallpaper, and other décor that might occur if a room were overcrowded.
Individuals and small groups of thirty people or fewer may picnic on the grounds.
Determining factors Groups larger than thirty people may not picnic on the grounds unless a special use permit for that activity has been issued by the office of the superintendent.Large groups of picnickers may create a level of noise and distraction that would impinge on the visitor experience at the site for others and may inhibit access to the Clinton Birthplace Home.
Public access to the main house is limited to scheduled tours as set by any staff member at the visitor center desk.
Determining factors: Guided tours of the main house ensure the protection of the structure, the furnishings contained within, and the interpretive media provided for a better understanding of the resource.
Food, drinks, and chewing gum are not allowed within any historic structure except by permit. Food, drinks, and chewing gum are not allowed in the visitor center exhibit area or bookstore except by permit.
Determining factors: The prohibition of consumable items in the historic structure guards against inadvertent spills, litter, or the potential to attract pests that may be attracted to or damage the building. The prohibition of consumable items from the Visitor Center exhibit area and bookstore guards against inadvertent spills, litter, or damage to the exhibits, carpet, flooring, and store displays.
No fires are allowed in portable grills or stoves on the grounds.
Determining factors: Placement of grills or stoves in the small area can create safety hazards from accidental contact or tripping.
Closures:
Except for facilities designated for visitor use, all buildings are closed to unauthorized entry. This shall not apply to persons in non-public areas who have been granted specific permission by the National Park Service (NPS), another authorized Federal agency, licensed contractors or their representatives, or those who are under escort of park employees acting within the scope of employment.
Determining factors: Uncontrolled or unregulated access would complicate the protection of historic structures, expose visitors to health and safety issues relating to the operation of machinery and power equipment and interfere with the ability of employees to complete necessary and required business.
During maintenance procedures at President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home NHS, any area may be closed to the public, to ensure safety. These areas will be clearly marked by construction perimeter fencing, roping, chaining, and/or taping, and may be secured by hasps and padlocks.
Determining factors: Temporary closures for construction and/or repair activity are necessary to facilitate a safety zone and ensure the protection of employees and visitors. The park will adhere to regulatory requirements provided by OSHA or other regulatory body applicable to the activity at hand.
Sporting activities including, but not limited to, kite flying, Frisbee throwing, golfing, biking, field games, skate boarding, rollerblading, and roller-skating are prohibited on federal lands within the boundary of the historic site.
Determining factors: Because of the small size of the site’s facilities, the activities pose potential safety risks to other visitors. Further, such activities would interfere with the contemplative nature for which the Virginia Clinton Kelley Memorial Garden was created.
The possession or use of fireworks, firecrackers, or other explosive devices is prohibited on federal lands within the boundary of the historic site. No permits for the use or possession of fireworks, firecrackers, or explosive devices of any kind will be issued by the office of the superintendent.
Determining factors: Because of the small size of the site’s facilities, firecrackers, fireworks, and other explosive devises also pose potential safety risks to other visitors.
Launching, landing, or operating an unmanned aircraft from or on lands and waters administered by the National Park Service within the boundaries of President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site is prohibited except as approved in writing by the Superintendent.
Definition: Unmanned Aircraft (UA) - The term "unmanned aircraft" means a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the device, and the associated operational elements and components that are required for the pilot or system operator in command to operate or control the device (such as cameras, sensors, communication links). This term includes all types of devices that meet this definition (e.g., model airplanes, quadcopters, and drones) that are used for any purpose, including for recreation or commerce
Determining factors: This closure is to prevent possible conflicts, maintain public health and safety, and prevent any unacceptable impacts on park resources and values.
Masks:
When the COVID-19 Community Level is LOW or MEDIUM in the county or all the counties where the park is located based on data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individuals are not required to wear masks.
When the COVID-19 Community Level is HIGH in the county or all the counties where the park is located based on data provided by the CDC, all individuals over the age of two must wear masks, regardless of vaccination status, in all common areas and shared workspaces in buildings owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the National Park Service, including, but not limited to, park visitor centers, administrative offices, lodges, gift shops and restaurants.
When the COVID-19 Community Level is HIGH in one or more, but not all, of the counties where the park is located based on data provided by the CDC, the superintendent will determine whether individuals are required to wear masks. The requirement, if any, will apply to all facilities within the park.
Masks must cover the nose and mouth and fit snugly around the nose and chin with no large gaps around the sides of the face. Masks not designed to be protective, masks with ventilation valves, and face shields do not meet the requirement.
Regardless of the COVID-19 Community Level, individuals may wear masks if they choose to do so. Where a state, local, tribal, or territorial government where the park is located imposes more protective mask-wearing requirements than those indicated by the COVID-19 Community Level, individuals must follow those more protective requirements within the park. More protective state, local, tribal, or territorial mask-wearing requirements are hereby adopted as federal requirements in all units of the National Park System located within that state, locality, area subject to a federally recognized Indian tribe’s regulatory jurisdiction, or territory, regardless of a particular park’s jurisdictional status.
Additionally, all individuals must wear masks in or on public transportation conveyances and transportation hubs/facilities, to the extent required by current orders or directives issued by the CDC, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), or other federal agencies with jurisdiction over those conveyances or areas. As of March 4, 2022, CDC and TSA orders or directives require all individuals regardless of vaccination status to wear masks in indoor areas of all forms of public transportation conveyances, including busses, trains, and boats/ferries, and in the indoor premises of transportation hubs/facilities. Individuals are not required to wear masks while outdoors on conveyances or while outdoors on the premises of transportation hubs/facilities.
Determining Factors: This public use restriction is necessary to maintain public health and safety. As stated in E.O. 13991, it is the policy of the Administration to halt the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID–19) by relying on the best available data and science-based public health measures. Such measures include wearing masks when around others, physical distancing, and other related precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC has conveyed that in addition to physical distancing and hand washing, masks are a critical step to help Page 11 of 23 MWR Compendium Template, 2017 prevent people from getting and spreading COVID-19. When you wear a mask, you protect others as well as yourself.
COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets. Masks are a simple barrier to help prevent respiratory droplets from reaching others. Masks can prevent the spread of the disease even when the wearer is not sick. This is because several studies have found that people with COVID-19 who never develop symptoms (asymptomatic) and those who are not yet showing symptoms (pre-symptomatic) can still spread the virus to other people. Masks may not be necessary when you are outside by yourself away from others, or with other people who live in your household. It is especially important to wear a mask indoors with people you do not live with and when you are unable to stay at least 6 feet apart because COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact with one another. Recommended masks include non-medical disposable masks, masks that fit properly (cover nose and mouth and fit snugly around the nose and chin with no large gaps around the sides of the face), masks made with breathable fabric (such as cotton), masks made with tightly woven fabric (i.e., fabrics that do not let light pass through when held up to a light source), masks with two or three layers, and masks with inner filter pockets. Novelty/non-protective masks, masks with ventilation valves, or face shields are not a substitute for the recommended mask.
The following is a compilation of those activities for which a permit from the superintendent is required:
§2.4(d) Carry or possess a weapon, trap, or net (excluding legal firearms)
Carry or possess a weapon, trap, or net.
When needed to support research activities conducted in accordance with 2.5.
For employees, agents, or cooperating officials in the performance of official duties.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Chapter, a person may possess, carry, and transport concealed, loaded, and operable firearms within a national park area in accordance with the laws of the state in which the national park area, or that portion thereof, is located, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Federal law. (Park regulation cannot be less restrictive than United States Code)
This authority does not extend to Federal facilities within the park (18 U.S.C. 930(a)). Federal facilities include: The Visitor Center and the Clinton Birthplace Home. Firearms are prohibited inside these facilities.
§2.5(a) Specimen collection (Take plant, fish, wildlife, rocks, or minerals)
§2.12 Audio Disturbances:
(a)(2) Operating a chain saw in developed areas

(a) Erection of monuments (Requires approval from Regional Director)
(b) Scattering ashes from human cremation
§3.3 Use of a vessel
§4.11(a) Exceeding of established vehicle load, weight, and size limits
§5.1 Advertisements - (Display, posting or distribution.)Commercial notices or advertisements shall not be displayed, posted, or distributed on federally owned or controlled lands within a park area unless prior written permission has been given by the Superintendent.
Such permission may be granted only if the notice or advertisement is of goods, services, or facilities available within the park area and such notices and advertisements are found by the Superintendent to be desirable and necessary for the convenience and guidance of the public.
§5.3 Engaging in or soliciting any business (Requires a permit, contract or other written agreement with the United States, or must be pursuant to special regulations).
§5.5 Commercial filming, still photography, and audio recording:
(a) Commercial filming and still photography activities are subject to the provisions of 43 CFR Part 5. All commercial filming requires a permit. Still photography does not require a permit unless:
It uses a model, set, or prop
It takes place where members of the public are not allowed
The park would incur cost to provide onsite management to protect resources or minimize visitor use conflicts
(b) Audio recording does not require a permit unless:
It takes place at locations where or when members of the public are generally not allowed
The equipment requires mechanical transport
It requires an external power source
The activity requires monitoring
The activity impacts resources
§5.7 Construction of buildings, facilities, trails, roads, boat docks, path, structure, etc.
§6.9(a) Operation of a solid waste disposal site
Determining Factors: The NPS has a substantial government interest in protecting park resources. Under the authority of 36 CFR 1.5 (a)(2).[1], superintendents can impose restrictions on activities within park areas when necessary to protect such resources.
Audio devices such as, but not limited to, a radio, tape deck, musical instrument, television set, bullhorn, or public address system may not be used on the grounds or inside the visitor center or Clinton Birthplace Home unless specifically authorized as part of a special use permit issued pursuant to 36 CFR § 250 or 36 CFR § 251.
Determining factors: Amplified music and voices have the potential to interfere with the visitor experience of others.
36 CFR §2.15 – PETS
(a)(1) The following structures and/or areas are closed to the possession of pets:
All park buildings. This restriction does not apply to service animals.
(a)(2) Leaving a pet unattended and tied to an object is prohibited.(a)(5) Pet excrement must be disposed of in accordance with the following conditions:
Individuals in possession of pets must have on their person a bag or device for the containerization and removal of pet excrement.
Individuals shall immediately containerize and dispose of excrement deposited by their pet in a trash receptacle or remove it from the historic site
Determining factors: The proper disposal of pet excrement protects public health and safety, helps control the spread of disease, and avoids degradation of the visitor experience from the sight and smell of fecal material. Ensuring that a pet is leashed and not left unattended also protects the safety of visitors and helps avoid scenarios when unwanted overtures by a loose pet would diminish another visitor’s experience.
36 CFR §2.21 – SMOKING
(a) The following portions of the park, or all or portions of buildings, structures or facilities are closed to smoking as noted:
All public buildings and public areas of concession/leased buildings (including restrooms)
Within 25 feet of any building entrance.
Inside shared government housing
Other areas as posted.
Determining factors: Smoking is prohibited in the areas listed above to protect park resources, reduce the risk of fire, or prevent conflicts among visitor use activates. Smoking within any public building or structure poses a health and fire risk. NPS policy memorandum 15-03 determined that the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems should be treated in the same manner as other forms of smoking.
36 CFR §2.35 – ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
The following public use areas, portions of public use areas, and/or public facilities within the park are closed to consumption of alcoholic beverages, and/or to the possession of a bottle, can, or other receptacle containing an alcoholic beverage that is open, or has been opened, or whose seal has been broken or the contents of which have been partially removed:
Inside the Visitor Center, the Clinton Birthplace Home, and the restroom complex.
Determining factor: The restriction is in place to protect facilities and resources from potential damage which may occur from liquid spills or the accumulation of refuse where receptacles are not appropriately present. No interpretive program is conducted which is contributory to alcohol consumption, and none are of a lengthy duration whereby refreshments are necessary to safely complete the program in its entirety.
36 CFR §2.38 – EXPLOSIVES
(b) Possession of fireworks and firecrackers in the park is prohibited
Determining factor: The President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home NHS is a cultural landscape comprised of several historic structures and modern support buildings. No additional interpretive benefit may be derived through the authorization of fireworks or explosives; conversely, having fireworks and explosives within the park may place these resources at unnecessary risk.
36 CFR §2.51 – DEMONSTRATIONS AND DESIGNATED AVAILABLE PARK AREAS
The following areas are designated for demonstrations and assemblies (gatherings standing in place):
All federal property within the historic site may be used for exercising of First Amendment rights, except:
Inside of the Visitor Center or Clinton Birthplace Home, or within 25 feet of any entrance to those buildings.
Within any area planted with ornamental landscaping and covered with mulch or vegetative ground cover (other than turf grass).
Groups of 25 people and less do not require a permit but may elect to obtain one without cost.
Determining Factors:The areas listed above are designated to allow individuals and groups to meet in a manner that does not interfere with visitor use activities and public use.
36 CFR §2.52 – SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF PRINTED MATTER
The following areas are designated for the sale and distribution of printed matter provided that a special use permit has been issued by the office of the superintendent, and provided the printed matter is not solely commercial advertising:
Inside of the Visitor Center or Clinton Birthplace Home, or within 25 feet of any entrance to those buildings.
Within any area planted with ornamental landscaping and covered with mulch or vegetative ground cover (other than turf grass).
Application for a special use permit must be made in writing to the superintendentt at least 48 hours prior to distribution or sale of materials.
Determining Factors:Permits of this type are necessary to control the sale or distribution of printed mater since such activity may conflict with the overall safety and enjoyment of the historic site by the majority of visitors.
36 CFR §4.30 – BICYCLES
(a) Bicycles and Electric Bicycles are not permitted on the grounds of the historic site. An electric bicycle also known as an e-bike is a bicycle with an integrated electric motor.
Determining factors: Because of the small size of the site’s facilities, the activities pose potential safety risks to other visitors. Further, such activities would interfere with the contemplative nature for which the Virginia Clinton Kelley Memorial Garden was created.
