§100505 Periodic Review of System

Summary

The Secretary must do a full review of the System at least once every 3 years and send a report to the House Committee on Natural Resources, the House Committee on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and the Senate Committee on Appropriations. The Secretary must talk with federal, state, and local officials and with national, regional, and local organizations, and must hold public hearings as needed so people can comment. The report must list every authorized but not yet bought parcel of land inside each System unit as of November 28, 1990. It must give a priority list for those parcels with acreage, who owns them, the estimated cost to buy each parcel (subject to any legal limits on buying the land), and how the estimate was made. The report must also analyze each unit’s current and future needs for resource management, visitor programs and information, building and construction, operations and maintenance, staff, and housing, and give cost estimates.
