More on U.S. National Park Service
Description from Wikipedia:
The National Park Service (NPS) is the U.S. federal agency that manages all National Parks, many National Monuments and other conservation and historical properties with various title designations. It was created on August 25, 1916, by Congress through the National Park Service Organic Act.
It is an agency of the United States Department of the Interior, which is a Cabinet Office of the executive branch, overseen by the Secretary of the Interior, nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Most of the direct management of the NPS is delegated by the Secretary to the National Park Service Director, who must now also be confirmed by the Senate.
The NPS oversees over units, of which 58 are designated national parks.
