Due to the large volume of comments, comments and responses in this section occur in several forms. Where a "summary comment" is indicated, it is a paraphrasing of many individual comments having the same basic context. A "summary response" therefore responds to all who commented in like fashion. Where a "comment" is indicated, normally this is a singular comment in the words of the person who commented. The "response" directed toward that individual comment. In some instances, a general response is given to a series of individual comments.

In 1990, a Winter Use Plan was completed for Yellowstone National Park (YNP), Grand Teton National Park (GTNP), and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway (the Parkway). In 1994 the National Park Service (NPS) and U.S. Forest Service began work on a coordinated interagency report on Winter Visitor Use Management. This effort was in reaction to an earlier than expected increase in winter use. The 1990 Winter Use Plan projected 143,000 visitors for the year 2000. In 1992-93 winter use in YNP and GTNP exceeded this estimate.
