Personal watercraft to bi banned in national park WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush adminis tration will not try to delay a ban on personal watercraft scheduled to take effect April 22 in 13 national parks and recreation areas. The ban is a result of a Clinton-era rule that set a deadline for parks to establish regulations governing the watercraft or impose a blanket ban. Personal watercraft, familiarly known by the trade name Jet Ski, are high-speed, gas-powered vessels designed to be ridden by one person. So far, eight of the 13 parks have decided to ban the water craft. Superintendents at five other parks have decided some watercraft use might be appro priate, but environmental assessments are still under way and rules are being draft ed at those parks, meaning they will be forced to ban watercraft on April 22. The National Park Service had considered trying to push back the deadline at the five parks where rules were being crafted, but didn't have the legal authority to do so, said Kym Hall, regulations program manager for the Park Service. “We are going to have to close temporarily,” she said. “We didn’t want to have to do that, but we’re going to have to.” The Park Service plans to make an announce ment Thursday to explain the reasons for the clo sures to the public. Eight other parks have until Sept. 15 to adopt rules for watercraft or ban them. The National Park Service has already prohib ited watercraft use on 66 of the 87 bodies of water under its jurisdiction. Two factors could delay the April 22 ban. A federal judge in Texas has been asked by a watercraft industry group to prevemfej from taking effect. The judge has schedj hearing for April 17. The House also could vote as early asnevl on a bill that would postpone the December 2(X)4. although it is unlikely the bi make it through the Democratic-controlled: Steve Bosak of the National Parks Conser!
