Ex. Ord. No. 13195, Jan. 18, 2001, 66 F.R. 7391, provided:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution
and the laws of the United States of America, and in furtherance of
purposes of the National Trails System Act of 1968, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1241-1251), the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st
Century (Public Law 105-178) [see Short Title of 1998 Amendments
note set out under section 101 of Title 23, Highways], and other
pertinent statutes, and to achieve the common goal of better
establishing and operating America's national system of trails, it
is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Federal Agency Duties. Federal agencies will, to the
extent permitted by law and where practicable - and in cooperation
with Tribes, States, local governments, and interested citizen
groups - protect, connect, promote, and assist trails of all types
throughout the United States. This will be accomplished by:
(a) Providing trail opportunities of all types, with minimum
adverse impacts and maximum benefits for natural, cultural, and
community resources;
(b) Protecting the trail corridors associated with national
scenic trails and the high priority potential sites and segments of
national historic trails to the degrees necessary to ensure that
the values for which each trail was established remain intact;
(c) Coordinating maps and data for the components of the national
trails system and Millennium Trails network to ensure that these
trails are connected into a national system and that they benefit
from appropriate national programs;
(d) Promoting and registering National Recreation Trails, as
authorized in the National Trails System Act, by incorporating
where possible the commitments and partners active with Millennium
Trails;
(e) Participating in a National Trails Day the first Saturday of
June each year, coordinating Federal events with the National
Trails Day's sponsoring organization, the American Hiking Society;
(f) Familiarizing Federal agencies that are active in tourism and
travel with the components of a national system of trails and the
Millennium Trails network and including information about them in
Federal promotional and outreach programs;
(g) Fostering volunteer programs and opportunities to engage
volunteers in all aspects of trail planning, development,
maintenance, management, and education as outlined in 16 U.S.C.
1250;
(h) Encouraging participation of qualified youth conservation or
service corps, as outlined in 41 [42] U.S.C. 12572 and 42 U.S.C.
12656, to perform construction and maintenance of trails and trail-
related projects, as encouraged in sections 1108(g) and 1112(e) of
the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century [23 U.S.C. 133
note, 206 note], and also in trail planning protection, operations,
and education;
(i) Promoting trails for safe transportation and recreation
within communities;
(j) Providing and promoting a wide variety of trail opportunities
and experiences for people of all ages and abilities;
(k) Providing historical interpretation of trails and trail sites
and enhancing cultural and heritage tourism through special events,
artworks, and programs; and
(l) Providing training and information services to provide high-
quality information and training opportunities to Federal
employees, Tribal, State, and local government agencies, and the
other trail partners.
Sec. 2. The Federal Interagency Council on Trails. The Federal
Interagency Council on Trails (Council), first established by
agreement between the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior
in 1969, is hereby recognized as a long-standing interagency
working group. Its core members represent the Department of the
Interior's Bureau of Land of [sic] Management and National Park
Service, the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, and the
Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration.
Other Federal agencies, such as those representing cultural and
heritage interests, are welcome to join this council. Leadership of
the Council may rotate among its members as decided among
themselves at the start of each fiscal year. The Council's mission
is to coordinate information and program decisions, as well as
policy recommendations, among all appropriate Federal agencies (in
consultation with appropriate nonprofit organizations) to foster
the development of America's trails through the following means:
(a) Enhancing federally designated trails of all types (e.g.,
scenic, historic, recreation, and Millennium) and working to
integrate these trails into a fully connected national system;
(b) Coordinating mapping, signs and markers, historical and
cultural interpretations, public information, training, and
developing plans and recommendations for a national trails registry
and database;
(c) Ensuring that trail issues are integrated in Federal agency
programs and that technology transfer and education programs are
coordinated at the national level; and
(d) Developing a memorandum of understanding among the agencies
to encourage long-term interagency coordination and cooperation to
further the spirit and intent of the National Trails System Act and
related programs.
Sec. 3. Issue Resolution and Handbook for Federal Administrators
of the National Trails System. Federal agencies shall together
develop a process for resolving interagency issues concerning
trails. In addition, reflecting the authorities of the National
Trails System Act, participating agencies shall coordinate
preparation of (and updates for) an operating handbook for Federal
administrators of the National Trails System and others involved in
creating a national system of trails. The handbook shall reflect
each agencies' governing policies and provide guidance to each
agencies' field staff and partners about the roles and
responsibilities needed to make each trail in the national system
fully operational.
Sec. 4. Observance of Existing Laws. Nothing in this Executive
Order shall be construed to override existing laws, including those
that protect the lands, waters, wildlife habitats, wilderness
areas, and cultural values of this Nation.
Sec. 5. Judicial Review. This order is intended only to improve
the internal management of the executive branch. It does not create
any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable in law
or equity by any party against the United States, its agencies, its
officers or employees, or any other person.
William J. Clinton.
