What changed

The National Park Service (NPS) has officially withdrawn a final rule concerning motor vehicles within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This action, effective March 18, 2026, terminates the rulemaking process that had previously published a final rule on January 13, 2025 (90 FR 2621). The withdrawal follows the disapproval of the rule by Congress via H.J. Res. 60, enacted as Public Law 119-13, under the Congressional Review Act.

This withdrawal means the previously published final rule will not take effect and the NPS will not proceed with its implementation. Regulated entities and the public are no longer subject to the provisions of the withdrawn rule. The NPS has terminated the rulemaking process, and no further compliance actions related to this specific rule are required.
