The Secretary must make sure scientific study results actually get used in park management decisions. Whenever a Park Service action might seriously harm a resource, the official record must show how relevant studies were considered. How well park resources are trending is also a major factor in judging each superintendent's yearly job performance.
The Secretary* must take whatever steps are needed to make sure that scientific study results are fully and properly used in decisions about managing System* units.
Whenever an action by the Service* might cause a significant harmful effect on a unit's resource, the official administrative record must show how the relevant resource studies were taken into account.
The trend in the condition of System resources must be a significant factor when each unit superintendent gets their annual performance evaluation.
The Secretary* shall take such measures as are necessary to ensure the full and proper utilization of the results of scientific study for System unit* management decisions. In each case in which an action undertaken by the Service* may cause a significant adverse effect on a System* unit resource, the administrative record shall reflect the manner in which System unit resource studies have been considered. The trend in the condition of resources of the System shall be a significant factor in the annual performance evaluation of each superintendent of a System unit.
