Making America Beautiful Again by Improving Our National Parks

               By the authority vested in me as President by the 
               Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
               America, it is hereby ordered:

               Section 1. Policy. From the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon 
               to the tranquility of the Great Smoky Mountains, 
               America's national parks have provided generations of 
               American families with unforgettable memories. It is 
               the policy of my Administration to preserve these 
               opportunities for American families in future 
               generations by increasing entry fees for foreign 
               tourists, improving affordability for United States 
               residents, and expanding opportunities to enjoy 
               America's splendid national treasures.

               Sec. 2. Making America Beautiful Again by Improving Our 
               National Parks. (a) The Secretary of the Interior shall 
               develop a strategy to increase revenue and improve the 
               recreational experience at national parks by 
               appropriately increasing entrance fees and recreation 
               pass fees for nonresidents in areas of the National 
               Park System that charge entrance fees or recreation 
               pass fees as defined in 16 U.S.C. 6801. Additionally, 
               to the extent consistent with applicable law, the 
               Secretary of the Interior, working with the Secretary 
               of Agriculture as appropriate, shall take steps to 
               increase the prices at which the America the Beautiful 
               Pass--the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands 
               Pass--and any site-specific agency or regional multi-
               entity passes are sold to nonresidents.

                   (b) The Secretary of the Interior shall use any 
               increased fee revenue generated pursuant to subsection 
               (a) of this section to improve the infrastructure of, 
               or otherwise enhance enjoyment of or access to, 
               America's Federal recreational areas, consistent with 
               16 U.S.C. 6807.
                   (c) The Secretary of the Interior, working with the 
               Secretary of Agriculture as appropriate, shall take 
               steps to improve services and affordability for United 
               States residents visiting national parks, as consistent 
               with applicable law.
                   (d) The Secretary of the Interior, working with the 
               Secretary of State, shall work to encourage 
               international tourism to America's national parks and 
               outdoor recreation areas, and especially wider 
               utilization of America's many such areas that may be 
               underutilized.
                   (e) The Secretary of the Interior shall review the 
               maintenance backlog within the National Park Service 
               and take all appropriate action to fully implement the 
               National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund 
               established in the Great American Outdoors Act (Public 
               Law 116-152), invest in the infrastructure of national 
               parks, and increase visitor capacity to allow more 
               Americans to visit national parks.
                   (f) The Secretary of the Interior shall review all 
               of the Department of the Interior's rules and policies 
               related to public use of national parks and take 
               actions consistent with applicable law to ensure that 
               the National Park Service manages national parks 
               consistent with the policy of this order. The Secretary 
               of the Interior shall review all of the Department's 
               recreational access rules and take steps to rescind any 
               that unnecessarily restrict recreation in national 
               parks. In conducting this review, the Secretary of the 
               Interior shall especially scrutinize all recreational 
               access rules or other restrictions promulgated or 
               enacted during the prior administration. The Secretary 
               of the Interior shall take appropriate actions to grant 
               American residents preferential treatment with respect 
               to any remaining recreational access rules, including 
               permitting or lottery rules, consistent with applicable 
               law.

               Sec. 3. Revocation. The Presidential Memorandum of 
               January 12, 2017 (Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in 
               Our National Parks, National Forests, and Other Public 
               Lands and Waters), is hereby revoked.

               Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
               shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the 
head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                   (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
               applicable law and subject to the availability of 
               appropriations.
                   (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
               create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
               enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
               the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
               entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
               other person.
                   (d) The costs for publication of this order shall 
               be borne by the Department of the Interior.
