The Secretary can make regulations needed to properly use and manage national park units. This includes rules for boating and other water activities inside parks, but these rules must work alongside, not override, the Coast Guard's authority over navigable waters. Breaking these regulations carries criminal penalties under section 1865 of title 18.
(a) In General. The Secretary* must issue whatever regulations the Secretary thinks are necessary or proper for using and managing System* units.
(b) Boating and Other Activities on or Relating to Water. Under whatever terms the Secretary considers advisable, the Secretary may issue regulations under subsection (a) covering boating and other water-related activities within System units, including water under United States jurisdiction. Any such regulation must work alongside the Coast Guard's authority to regulate water under United States jurisdiction — it cannot take away from that authority.
(c) Criminal Penalties. Section 1865 of title 18 sets the criminal penalties for violating a regulation issued under this section.
The Secretary* shall prescribe such regulations as the Secretary considers necessary or proper for the use and management of System* units.
The Secretary, under such terms and conditions as the Secretary considers advisable, may prescribe regulations under subsection (a) concerning boating and other activities on or relating to water located within System units, including water subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Any regulation under this subsection shall be complementary to, and not in derogation of, the authority of the Coast Guard to regulate the use of water subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
Criminal penalties for a violation of a regulation prescribed under this section are provided by section 1865 of title 18.
