Title 16 › Chapter 1— NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › Subchapter LVIII— VALLEY FORGE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK › § 410aa–2
When the Secretary finds enough land and interests have been bought to make a manageable unit, the Secretary must create the park by publishing a notice in the Federal Register. The park cannot be created until the Secretary gets commitments he considers sufficient from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that the funds from acts 320 and 352 of 1974, and act 12A of 1975, will remain available and obligated for park development. The Secretary must manage the park under the Act of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535), and the Act of August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 666), as amended. The Secretary may give technical help to public and private nonprofit groups to get historic designations and to apply for grants or other federal, state, or local aid to protect, repair, or preserve nearby properties that are historically related to the park.
