16 U.S.C. § 410aa–2: Notice in Federal…

Summary

When the Secretary decides enough land and rights have been bought to make a usable unit, he must create the park by publishing a notice in the Federal Register. He cannot do that until he gets commitments from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that the funds from acts 320 and 352 of 1974 and act 12A of 1975 will remain available and be used for park development. The Secretary must run the park under the laws of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535) and August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 666). He may also give technical help to public agencies and private nonprofit groups to get historic designation or apply for grants and other aid under federal, state, or local law to protect and preserve nearby historic properties related to the park.
