                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
PART 21--OCCUPANCY OF CABIN SITES ON PUBLIC CONSERVATION AND RECREATION AREAS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 21.2  Scope of regulations.

    The provisions of this part apply to all recreation or conservation 
areas administered by the Department of the Interior, including 
recreation or conservation areas leased or transferred for 
administration to other Federal and non-Federal public agencies, 
wherever the Department of the Interior retains jurisdiction over the 
issuance of cabin site permits by such other agencies. The provisions of 
this part do not modify or cancel any existing arrangement whereby the 
Department of the Interior or bureau or office thereof has leased, or 
turned over for administration, a public recreation or conservation area 
to another Federal or non-Federal public agency. The provisions of this 
part will also provide policy guidelines for the Departmental handling 
of assignments, amendments, or modifications of existing permits or 
agreements, but do not apply to areas transferred by deed where the 
United States retains a reversionary interest, nor to areas of the 
National Park System other than those where private cabin sites are 
located.
    (a) The policies set out in this part shall not affect occupancy by 
private persons who have private rights, or rights of occupancy 
adjudicated or confirmed by court action, statute, or pursuant to a 
contract by which they conveyed to the Government the land on which a 
cabin or other substantial improvement is located.
    (b) The policies set out in this part shall not apply to any 
concession contract or to any other permit or occupancy primarily 
granted to serve public rather than private or individual purposes-- 
such as, permits granted to groups who assist in maintaining historic 
trails, or permits for youth and church group camp facilities, etc.
    (c) The regulations in this part shall not supersede or 
substantially contravene the implementation of the Lower Colorado River 
Land Use Plan.
