WASHINGTON » Under pressure from governors, the Obama administration said Thursday it will allow some shuttered national parks to reopen — as long as states use their own money to pay for operations.

While at least four governors have asked for authority to reopen national parks within their borders because of the economic impact of keeping them closed, Hawaii so far is not one of them.

All 401 national park units — including the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Hawaii Volcanoes and Hale­akala national parks — have been closed since Oct. 1 because of the partial government shutdown.

Interior Department spokes­man Blake Androff said the government does not plan to reimburse states what it costs to reopen parks. Congress could authorize reimbursements once the shutdown ends.

Louise Kim McCoy, a spokes­woman for Gov. Neil Abercrombie, said if the federal government formally agrees to allow states to temporarily operate national parks, "the state of Hawaii is willing to review the concept."

"However, the state of Hawaii would first need to determine all of the fiscal impacts and feasibility," McCoy said in an email statement. "We would need further guidance and information to make an accurate assessment, including the exact cost of running these parks, the amount of staff required, and for how long the state might have to operate these parks."

In an email statement, Abercrombie said, "Hawaii has some of the most beautiful and most visited national parks in the country including the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, USS Arizona Memorial, Hale­akala National Park, and Kalaupapa National Historic Park," which contribute significantly to the state economy.

"However, the Congress and the federal government should not expect the state of Hawaii or any other state to substitute for the federal branch of government or assume its obligations. It is the clear responsibility of Congress to end the shutdown as quickly as possible, to meet continuously until that is accomplished, and restore all federal services."

McCoy added that other federally funded programs are equally critical, "and the state is already concerned in managing its financial resources to address those shortcomings if the shutdown is not resolved very soon."

More than 20,000 National Park Service employees have been furloughed, and lawmakers from both parties have complained that park closures have wreaked havoc on nearby communities that depend on tourism.

Utah, Arizona, South Dakota and Colo­rado have asked to reopen national parks in their states.
