§698u–4 Limited Authority to Acquire

Summary

The Secretary must accept as donations up to 180 acres of land inside the Preserve, including any buildings or other improvements on that land. For payments in lieu of taxes under chapter 69 of title 31, that donated land is treated as land acquired for the purposes listed in section 6904(a). The government cannot accept any land without the owner’s consent, and the United States may not take full ownership of any Preserve land except the donated parcels allowed here.
