American Sovereignty and Monterey Historic Military Site Study Act

Study of Lower Presidio Park

This bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a special resource study of Lower Presidio Historic Park in Monterey, California. The study would evaluate the area's national significance and whether it is suitable and feasible as a unit of the National Park System. It would consider preservation and interpretation options for Federal, State or local governments, Tribes, and private or nonprofit organizations. The study would identify cost estimates for any Federal acquisition, development, interpretation, operation, and maintenance. The Secretary would report results and any recommendations to the House Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee within three years after funds are first made available to carry out the study.
