Title: ●Commercial Film Permitting 
Abstract:

This final rule with technical changes would amend commercial filming regulations at 36 CFR 251 by updating the definition of commercial filming and still photography to be consistent with the EXPLORE Act (Act). The Act lowers the threshold for what requires a permit for commercial filming and photography. Revising this rule to be more consistent with current statute is also in accordance with Executive Order 14219,  Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency” Deregulatory Initiative.
