Mission—The Organic Act of 1916 created the

National Park Service (NPS) “to conserve the scen-

ery and the natural and historic objects and the

wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment

of the same in such manner and by such means as

will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of

future generations.”

Budget Overview—The 2021 budget request for

NPS is $2.8 billion. NPS estimates the budget will

support total stang of 17,615 full-time equiva-

lents in 2021.

Program Overview—The national park system

covers 85 million acres at 419 park units, including

134 historical parks or sites, 83 national monu-

ments, 62 national parks, 30 national memorials, 25

baleelds or military parks, and 85 otherwise des-

ignated national park units. NPS also helps admin-

ister dozens of aliated sites, the National Reg-

ister of Historic Places, National Heritage Areas,

National Wild and Scenic Rivers, National Historic

Landmarks, and National Trails. In addition, NPS

sta work with communities across the Nation to

help preserve local history and create recreational

opportunities.

Operation of the National Park System—The

2021 budget requests $2.5 billion for operations

of the national park system. In 2018, NPS served

more than 318 million visitors from across America

and around the world.

The budget includes $228.5 million for natural

resource programs. In support of the Administra-

tion’s strategy to reduce wildre risk, the budget

includes $4.0 million to support projects that create

defensible space around NPS infrastructure and

assets. This proactive mitigation work increases

the safety of reghters and the public and mini-

mizes the impacts to park operations, visitor expe-

riences, and gateway communities. These activities

will be coordinated with fuel treatment projects

funded through the Oce of Wildland Fire. The

NPS budget includes $1.3 million to support the

Veteran Fire Crew to conduct active forest manage-

ment work at park units, including fuels reduction,

re eects monitoring, educational outreach, pre-

re preparation of burn units, and participation

in prescribed res in the western and southern

United States. Fire crews engaging in active forest

management help protect our Nation’s forests,

parks, grasslands, and neighboring communities

and ensure recreational access is either preserved

or restored as the impacts of re are mitigated.

Eective stewardship of NPS and our Nation’s

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Facts

• In 1916, Congress created the National Park Service, also known as “America’s Best Idea.”

• The national park system includes 419 park units, which encompass 85 million acres in all 50 States

and 4 Territories.

• In 2018, more than 318 million people visited the units of the national park system.

• In 2019, roughly 21,000 individual full- and part-time employees and more than 279,000 volunteers

worked to preserve, protect, and share the history of this land and its people.

• The NPS mission requires a diverse workforce, including archeologists, biologists, curators,

engineers, historians, hydrologists, landscape architects, law enforcement officers, and many

other disciplines.

• NPS collaborates with Tribes, States, local governments, nonprofits, and historic property owners

who share in preserving the Nation’s shared heritage.

resources requires working collaboratively to iden-

tify common interests, concerns, and opportunities

across connected landscapes. National parks are

critical seings for the conservation of natural

resources and play a unique role as places to apply

adaptive management strategies. The budget

includes $11.0 million for collaborative activities

with States, gateway communities, and adjacent

lands. Funding will support projects in parks that

advance the protection and restoration of migra-

tory routes and winter range habitat, enhance

wildlife-related recreation, support research pri-

orities and/or protection or restoration of priority

corridors identied in State Action Plans, and

provide technical assistance to parks that support

collaborative conservation outcomes. Projects may

include habitat restoration, to include remov-

ing invasive species, planting native species in

parks, monitoring species movements, identifying

multispecies wildlife corridors in western parks,

and reestablishing ecosystem connectivity.

The budget includes $88.8 million for cultural

resource programs. NPS preserves and pro-

tects cultural resources, including archeological

resources, cultural landscapes, ethnographic

resources, historical artifacts, historic and prehis-

toric structures, and museum collections. Overall,

the national park system contains more than 26,000

historic and prehistoric structures; 4,200 statues,

monuments, and memorials; 82,000 archeological

sites; and 185 million museum objects and archival

documents. NPS also conducts associated applied

research informing its stewardship of the extensive

and varied cultural resources contained within the

national park system.

Funding also includes $9.6 million for restoration,

conservation, and protection eorts in the Ever-

glades. The Everglades Restoration and Research

program is critical to the restoration, conservation,

and protection of Federal interest lands in south

Florida. The program focuses applied science

projects on data and syntheses needed to inform

decisions regarding the design and function of the

current and future restoration projects, the eects

of infrastructure and operations on threatened

and endangered species, the eects of large-scale

disturbances, and the eects of environmental

impacts and invasive species on NPS resources.

NPS is a major partner in the combined State and

Federal eort to restore the Everglades ecosys-

tem. The south Florida park units are among the

collaborating entities implementing major water

resource projects.

The budget proposes $243.2 million to support the

visitor experience at national park areas. Visitor

services are central to the National Park Service

mission and foster an understanding and appreci-

ation of NPS places of natural beauty and cultural

and historical signicance. These interpretation,

education, and management programs ensure

America’s natural, cultural, and recreational

Bureau Highlights | NPS | BH-83

treasures are provided in context and available to

park audiences formally and informally. To help

showcase and care for these treasures, NPS enlists

the help of a strong volunteer force organized with

the help of partnerships and visitor services. The

request also supports NPS management of the

thousands of concession contracts, commercial use

authorizations, and operating leases that enhance

the visitor experience and protect resources.

Interior plays a major role in providing access to

outdoor recreation. Outdoor recreation opportuni-

ties enable all of us to be healthier, more fully enjoy

the wonderful features of Federal lands, and take

advantage of hunting, shing, and other pursuits

that are part of the American conservation ethic.

The budget includes $44.2 million to improve rec-

reational and public access to park lands in ways

that benet park visitors and neighboring gateway

communities. Funding supports shing programs

for youth and other novice anglers and improves

recreation-related infrastructure and resources,

outreach to and involvement of veterans, invest-

ments in information technology to facilitate the

visitor experience, and coordination with State,

local, business, and nonprot stakeholders to facil-

itate access to outdoor recreation opportunities.

To ensure public safety and the protection of

resources in the parks, the budget includes $366.2

million for law enforcement and health and safety

programs. NPS law enforcement programs—

including the U.S. Park Police at the Washington,

DC; New York City; and San Francisco area NPS

sites—enforce Federal laws and regulations within

all park units. Park protection activities are import-

ant to stewardship of the parks. They help keep

NPS natural and cultural resources unimpaired for

future generations, provide the public the oppor-

tunity to enjoy the national park units in a safe

manner, and ensure NPS employees have a safe

work environment. The 2021 budget includes $4.2

million for 1-year funding to support visitor ori-

entation and safety services during the 2021 Pres-

idential inauguration. The budget proposes $2.0

million be appropriated from the Medical Services

Fund established in P.L. 116-9, the John D. Ding-

ell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation

Act. The Medical Services Fund is capitalized with

fees collected for medical services provided at 10

NPS park units. The NPS ability to access the funds

is subject to appropriations.

NPS manages thousands of assets, working to

sustain their condition being their status as

America’s treasures while making them available

for public enjoyment. The 2021 budget prioritizes

NPS infrastructure needs. The Facility Operations

and Maintenance program provides expertise to

manage these resources appropriately by protect-

ing, restoring, rehabilitating, and maintaining nat-

ural and cultural resources, visitor and employee

facilities, and other infrastructure. The budget

provides $844.2 million for park facility operations

and maintenance across the national park system,

including $121.1 million for repair and rehabilita-

tion projects and $188.2 million

for cyclic maintenance projects

to address routine maintenance

needs. Performing cyclic main-

tenance on schedule prevents

deferred maintenance from

accumulating and helps ful-

ll the full life expectancy of

park assets.

The budget proposes $539.1 mil-

lion for Park Support to admin-

ister, manage, and support

park operations throughout the

United States. This funding also

supports internal administration needs, such as

personnel, nance, procurement, data processing

and communications, and other support services.

The budget includes $4.6 million, as authorized in

the NPS Centennial Act, to support National Park

Foundation eorts to promote public-private part-

nerships that leverage private funding.

To improve the management of park operations,

the Department proposes to extend the period

of availability of funding in the Operation of the

National Park System and National Recreation and

Preservation accounts to 2 years. Two-year funding

availability will allow NPS to more eciently and

eectively manage available resources and adjust

for disruptions in the scal year. This is consistent

with the period of availability of the operating

funds at other Interior land management bureaus.

National Recreation and Preservation—The

2021 budget includes $33.9 million to support

local community eorts to preserve natural and

cultural resources. Natural resources programs

funded in this account support collaborative and

community-driven eorts and outcome-focused

investments to preserve and enhance rural land-

scapes, urban parks and rivers, important ecosys-

tems, cultural resources, and wildlife habitat. NPS

cultural programs support public participation

in preservation of the Nation’s cultural heritage

through National Register Programs and research

and training in historic preservation and conserva-

tion. This budget activity also supports cooperation

with other nations on park and heritage resource

management issues and local management of

National Heritage Areas.

Historic Preservation—The Historic Preservation

Fund supports preservation of non-Federal histor-

ically and culturally signicant sites and entities.

The 2021 budget includes $40.7 million for the His-

toric Preservation Fund, including $26.9 million for

Bureau Highlights | NPS | BH-85

States and Territories and $5.7 million for Tribes to

operate historic preservation oces that admin-

ister grants-in-aid. The budget also includes $8.0

million for grants to Historically Black Colleges

and Universities. Grants provide resources to meet

preservation responsibilities, including infrastruc-

ture permiing, required by the National Historic

Preservation Act to protect and preserve historic

resources in accordance with local needs and

priorities.

Land Acquisition and State Assistance—The

budget requests $8.6 million for the Land Acqui-

sition and State Assistance appropriation, which

includes $22.6 million in new budget authority

and the proposed cancellation of $14.0 million in

prior-year balances. The request includes $10.0 mil-

lion for grants to acquire land to protect American

Baleelds, $4.0 million for land acquisition that

supports expanded recreational access within park

unit boundaries, and $8.6 million to administer the

NPS Federal land acquisition program.

The 2021 budget proposes to shift funding for NPS

State Conservation grants from current to perma-

nent funding. Accordingly, no discretionary funds

are requested in 2021. Starting in 2009, the current

Land and Water Conservation Fund appropria-

tions for the State Conservation Grants program

have been augmented by revenues from oil and

gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico, as authorized by

Section 105 of the Gulf of Mexico Energy Secu-

rity Act (GOMESA). GOMESA receipts increased

signicantly in 2017 and are projected to gener-

ate revenue over $100 million for the foreseeable

future. In 2021, the amount of GOMESA revenue

estimated to be available to NPS for State grants is

$117.2 million.

Construction—The budget requests $192.6 million

for the NPS Construction Program. The budget

includes $127.8 million for line-item construction

projects to address the highest priority needs on

mission-critical assets. It funds $4.0 million for

demolition or disposal of surplus or otherwise

unneeded assets and $4.8 million for dam safety,

employee housing, and equipment replacement

programs. The budget includes $15.2 million for

construction project planning, $35.2 million for

construction program management and opera-

tions, and $5.7 million for park planning and envi-

ronmental compliance.

Centennial Challenge—The National Park Ser-

vice Centennial Act established the permanent

National Park Centennial Challenge Fund for

high-priority projects or programs that enhance

the visitor experience. Amounts exceeding $10.0

million from the sale of age-discounted Federal

Recreational Lands Passes, commonly known

as Senior Passes, are deposited into the fund to

be used for projects and programs that receive

non-Federal matching donations on at least a 50–50

basis. The budget estimates the fund will receive

$4.0 million in 2021.

Management Reforms—The 2021 budget

helps to advance several signicant management

reforms. The budget supports the Administration’s

priority workforce goal to incentivize employee

performance to beer recognize high-performing

employee contributions to mission achievement

across the bureau. In 2021, the Department pro-

poses to consolidate all agency ethics stang and

funding within the Departmental Ethics Oce in

the Oce of the Solicitor. The 2021 budget there-

fore assumes a transfer of $3.4 million and 15 FTEs

associated with current bureau ethics activities.

The budget also supports operations and manage-

ment of an enterprisewide grants management and

tracking system, GrantSolutions.

The 2021 budget reects completion of activities to

stand up the Interior regions in 2020. Funding to

maintain support for regional coordination across

bureaus and implementation of shared services is

budgeted centrally within the Oce of the Secre-

tary and the appropriated Working Capital Fund.

Fixed Costs—Fixed costs of $36.3 million are

fully funded.
