16 U.S.C. § 410yy–7: Financial and technical…

Summary

The Secretary can give money and technical help to owners of non‑Federal property inside parks that have nationally important historic or cultural resources. This help can be for marking, explaining, and restoring those places under cooperative or grant agreements. Those agreements must let the National Park Service enter public parts at reasonable times to lead visitors and interpret the site, and no changes to the property can be made unless both the owner and the Secretary agree. Federal money must be matched dollar-for-dollar by non‑Federal funds: $1 of Federal funds for each $1 from non‑Federal sources. The Secretary can accept and use those contributions, and land or land interests donated by the State of Michigan can count as the non‑Federal share.
