The Department’s intent in undertaking this rulemaking process is to better respect the ability of
states to determine who may lawfully possess a firearm within their borders while preserving the
Federal government’s authority to manage its lands, buildings, and facilities. Mindful of that
objective, the Department proposes to amend existing regulations in order to allow individuals to
carry concealed weapons in park units and refuges to the extent that they could lawfully do so on
analogous state-administered lands. In this regard, the proposal is not designed to authorize
firearms possession in federal facilities, or when otherwise forbidden by state or federal law.
Rather, the Department’s proposed rule is intended to respect state authority in a similar manner
to that adopted in existing regulations by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest
Service. Each of these agencies authorizes the possession of loaded and concealed weapons
consistent with the applicable authorities of the state in which the lands are located.

My question is how soon will the changes take effect after the 60 day comment period?
