                          AT THE SECOND SESSION

                                 An Act

 
  To establish Pinnacles National Park in the State of California as a 
        unit of the National Park System, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Pinnacles National Park Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
    The Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Pinnacles National Monument was established by Presidential 
    Proclamation 796 on January 16, 1908, for the purposes of 
    protecting its rock formations, and expanded by Presidential 
    Proclamation 1660 of May 7, 1923; Presidential Proclamation 1704 of 
    July 2, 1924; Presidential Proclamation 1948 of April 13, 1931; 
    Presidential Proclamation 2050 of July 11, 1933; Presidential 
    Proclamation 2528 of December 5, 1941; Public Law 94-567; and 
    Presidential Proclamation 7266 of January 11, 2000.
        (2) While the extraordinary geology of Pinnacles National 
    Monument has attracted and enthralled visitors for well over a 
    century, the expanded Monument now serves a critical role in 
    protecting other important natural and cultural resources and 
    ecological processes. This expanded role merits recognition through 
    legislation.
        (3) Pinnacles National Monument provides the best remaining 
    refuge for floral and fauna species representative of the central 
    California coast and Pacific coast range, including 32 species 
    holding special Federal or State status, not only because of its 
    multiple ecological niches but also because of its long-term 
    protected status with 14,500 acres of Congressionally designated 
    wilderness.
        (4) Pinnacles National Monument encompasses a unique blend of 
    California heritage from prehistoric and historic Native Americans 
    to the arrival of the Spanish, followed by 18th and 19th century 
    settlers, including miners, cowboys, vaqueros, ranchers, farmers, 
    and homesteaders.
        (5) Pinnacles National Monument is the only National Park 
    System site within the ancestral home range of the California 
    Condor. The reintroduction of the condor to its traditional range 
    in California is important to the survival of the species, and as a 
    result, the scientific community with centers at the Los Angeles 
    Zoo and San Diego Zoo in California and Buenos Aires Zoo in 
    Argentina looks to Pinnacles National Monument as a leader in 
    California Condor recovery, and as an international partner for 
    condor recovery in South America.
        (6) The preservation, enhancement, economic and tourism 
    potential and management of the central California coast and 
    Pacific coast range's important natural and cultural resources 
    requires cooperation and partnerships among local property owners, 
    Federal, State, and local government entities and the private 
    sector.
SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF PINNACLES NATIONAL PARK.
    (a) Establishment and Purpose.--There is hereby established 
Pinnacles National Park in the State of California for the purposes 
of--
        (1) preserving and interpreting for the benefit of future 
    generations the chaparral, grasslands, blue oak woodlands, and 
    majestic valley oak savanna ecosystems of the area, the area's 
    geomorphology, riparian watersheds, unique flora and fauna, and the 
    ancestral and cultural history of native Americans, settlers and 
    explorers; and
        (2) interpreting the recovery program for the California Condor 
    and the international significance of the program.
    (b) Boundaries.--The boundaries of Pinnacles National Park are as 
generally depicted on the map entitled ``Proposed: Pinnacles National 
Park Designation Change'', numbered 114/111,724, and dated December 
2011. The map shall be on file and available for public inspection in 
the appropriate offices of the National Park Service.
    (c) Abolishment of Current Pinnacles National Monument.--
        (1) In general.--In light of the establishment of Pinnacles 
    National Park, Pinnacles National Monument is hereby abolished and 
    the lands and interests therein are incorporated within and made 
    part of Pinnacles National Park. Any funds available for purposes 
    of the monument shall be available for purposes of the park.
        (2) References.--Any references in law (other than in this 
    Act), regulation, document, record, map or other paper of the 
    United States to Pinnacles National Monument shall be considered a 
    reference to Pinnacles National Park.
    (d) Administration.--The Secretary of the Interior shall administer 
Pinnacles National Park in accordance with this Act and laws generally 
applicable to units of the National Park System, including the National 
Park Service Organic Act (16 U.S.C. 1, 2-4).
SEC. 4. REDESIGNATION OF PINNACLES WILDERNESS AS HAIN WILDERNESS.
    Subsection (i) of the first section of Public Law 94-567 (90 Stat. 
2693; 16 U.S.C. 1132 note) is amended by striking ``Pinnacles 
Wilderness'' and inserting ``Hain Wilderness''. Any reference in a law, 
map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States 
to the Pinnacles Wilderness shall be deemed to be a reference to the 
Hain Wilderness.

                               Speaker of the House of Representatives.

                            Vice President of the United States and    
                                               President of the Senate.
