§410jj–4 — Title 16 Conservation | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary must manage the park under the Acts of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535) and August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 666), and under this Act. With the owner’s okay, the Secretary may do emergency or critical fixes to utilities and historic buildings, set up temporary offices, and run short-term visitor programs on non-Federal land. The Secretary should try to make cooperative agreements with property owners to preserve, repair, build, and interpret important historic, natural, architectural, and cultural places. Those agreements must last at least 20 years, can be extended, and must let the Secretary access public parts of the property at reasonable times. Except for the emergency and temporary work above, no money from this Act can be spent on non-Federal property unless there is a cooperative agreement. If an owner ends an agreement early, the owner must pay the United States the fair market value of any capital improvements as of that date, or the Secretary can remove them. When an agreement ends normally, improvements become the owner’s unless the United States chooses to remove them. The Secretary may only fix or restore religious buildings if they are a major part of the historic character of the Kalaupapa settlement and only as needed to explain its nationally important history to the public.
