 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Requires that the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina, be managed in accordance with the Interim Protected Species Management Strategy/Environmental Assessment issued by the National Park Service (NPS) until the NPS issues a special regulation and long-term off-road vehicle management plan for the use of that seashore by the public.

Invalidates the consent decree filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina regarding off-road vehicle use at that seashore.
