Adopted rule summary:

The rule amendment eliminates the preference at Flushing Meadows Corona Park ("FMCP") for events which did not occur in the prior calendar year, giving both new and reoccurring applicants an equal opportunity to hold a multi-day event. Parks is also amending its rules to allow two multi-day events at FMCP for between 2,000 and 40,000 attendees, rather than allowing just one multi-day event for between 2,000 and 20,000 attendees and one multi-day event for between 20,001 and 40,000 attendees. Finally, the rule amendment clarifies how Parks awards multi-day event permits at FMCP when applications are received on the same day, request the same number of total days, and provide for an equal amount of free access to the general public.
