It seems clear here the intent is to limit the over use and abuse of public
land by footprints much much larger than the individual photographer.
However, in not excluding that type of person from regulation, it also would
include those types of individual that just don't get "it".  Where "it" is
common sense not to stage a reenactment of some major or minor event without
proper OK. 

 

I don't think the intent, and that is a major consideration in enforcement,
would be to limit the well timed execution of a few frames of still
photography that barely impacted the use of the park by others. That
unsigned photographer that had the run in, should be able to resolve this
without additional fees, but was he really unaware? 

 

Perhaps, he also flew on Southwest airlines and wore an in appropriate T
shirt and traveled with a model that wore a scant amount of cloths.    ; )

Here are my comments for what they're worth.

I am distress at the broad and vague language in the proposal to 
redefine the rules for photographing in National Parks. The use of 
the words model(s), sets(s), or prop(s) without defining any context 
puts all visitors to the National Park System at risk of violation.
