§410hhh–2 Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado

Summary

The Secretary must create Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado once enough land with a variety of natural resources has been bought. The park will follow the area shown on the official map, and it becomes official when the Secretary publishes a notice in the Federal Register. The map will be kept on file and open for the public at National Park Service offices. Until the park is created, the Secretary must send yearly reports to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the House Committee on Resources showing how much land is still needed and the progress in buying it. On the day the park is established, Great Sand Dunes National Monument is ended and any money for the monument can be used for the park. Any federal law, rule, record, map, or paper that calls the area a “National Monument” will be read as calling it “National Park,” except for this subchapter. Any Department of the Interior land shown on the map as inside the park or preserve that was not managed by the National Park Service on November 22, 2000 will be transferred to the National Park Service.
