Nobody. They are currently prevented from drilling and mining in national parks due to legal precedents set by the Supreme Court.

Once those are cleared out of the way (I'm guessing around October 2017, after the new Supreme Court takes on Roe v Wade and reinforces Citizen's United), the next on the block is the dissolution of the National Park System.

This is part of the job creation plan. Open up new lands for drilling, mining, logging, etc.
