Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Park Service relating to "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles".

This joint resolution disapproves and nullifies a National Park Service rule titled "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles," published January 13, 2025 (90 Fed. Reg. 2621). The rule had limited use of off-road vehicles, such as off-highway vehicles and all-terrain vehicles, in certain areas of the recreation area, including an 8-mile segment of the Poison Spring Loop and the upper portion of the Flint Trail in the Orange Cliffs Special Management Unit, and it had limited off-road vehicle access from certain roads to the lakeshore. Because Congress used its authority under the Congressional Review Act (chapter 8 of title 5, U.S. Code) to disapprove the rule, the rule now has no force or effect, and the agency cannot reissue a substantially similar rule without new statutory authorization.

Visitors and off-road vehicle users at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in northern Arizona and southeastern Utah, the National Park Service and Department of the Interior, and land managers responsible for the Orange Cliffs Special Management Unit and Lake Powell shoreline access routes.

With the rule voided, off-road vehicles can again be used on routes such as the Poison Spring Loop and the upper Flint Trail, and the Park Service loses the restrictions it had imposed on lakeshore access. The Congressional Review Act disapproval also bars the agency from issuing a substantially similar rule in the future without new legislation.
