Summary:

The National Park Service lacks necessary financial data, internal controls, and performance measures that would allow the agency to shift resources among competing goals, rank priorities so that the most pressing issues receive attention, and link the agency's planning process directly to budget decisions to better allocate resources. Although the Park Service's restructuring plan addresses some of the challenges facing the agency, such as the need to meet the demands of an expanding system, growing numbers of visitors, and increasingly complex resource protection problems, the plan does not address the potential to improve operations through land management collaboration among Interior's three land management agencies and Agriculture's Forest Service. It also does not consider which functions or programs could be eliminated or turned over to state or local governments or to the private sector.
