THE BAP:.
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:
