Lands under NPS supervision have many more restrictions.
No hunting, no bikes, more permits, more closed areas....

I don't think they are. This study was requested by Congress, not the NPS:
As directed by Congress through the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-229-May 2008) , the National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a “special resource study” of the area known as the Rim of the Valley Corridor, generally including the mountains encircling the San Fernando, La Crescenta, Santa Clarita, Simi, and Conejo Valleys in California.
We have had other threads on this subject. There were a few informed comments that suggested the NPS is going about all this with some reluctance.

Our best-selling stock adapter, what we now call the LEO adapter (law enforcement officer), was originally going to be called the HSLD.

Reminder...Deadline for Comments is October 29, 2010!

This summer, the National Park Service initiated a new "special resource study" of the Rim of the Valley Corridor in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties of southern California, and to date, hundreds of participants turned out for one or more of our nine public meetings. For those of you who were able to participate, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas. If you are just learning about the study or were unable to attend a meeting, the materials presented are now available online including a copy of the presentation and display maps.

As a reminder, the Rim of the Valley Corridor study's purpose is to determine whether any portion of the study area is eligible to be designated as a unit of the national park system or added to an existing national park such as the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The study will also explore other ways that private or governmental entities can protect resources and provide more outdoor recreation opportunities.

Please note that the public comment period extends through October 29, 2010. Once the comments have been received and reviewed, a summary report of what we heard throughout the scoping period will be prepared and distributed. In the meantime, for more information about the study and how to submit comments, please visit the study website: http://www.nps.gov/pwro/rimofthevalley/

We look forward to receiving your comments!
