§410yyy–3 Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park Boundary

Summary

The Ocmulgee National Monument is renamed the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park and its boundary is moved to add about 2,100 acres shown on a January 2016 map (map no. 363/125996). Definitions: Historical Park = the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park in Georgia; Map = the January 2016 map (no. 363/125996) showing the boundary change; Study area = the Ocmulgee River corridor between Macon and Hawkinsville, Georgia. The Secretary may get land inside the new park boundary by donation, by buying it from a willing seller with donated or appropriated money, or by land exchange. The Secretary must not use condemnation to take land. Any land acquired must be run as part of the park under the law. The Secretary must also do a special resource study of the study area. The study must check national importance, whether it could become a National Park System unit, other ways to protect it, consult interested groups, and estimate federal costs for buying, developing, explaining, running, and maintaining it. The study must follow section 100507 of title 54, and a report with results and recommendations must go to the House Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee within 3 years after funds are first provided.
