        schools elsewhere in the State of California.
    (d) Source of Payments.--(1) Except as otherwise provided in this 
subsection, the Secretary may use funds available to the National Park

        5992).</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (B) Emergency appropriations for flood recovery at 
        Yosemite National Park.</DELETED>
            (A) Any law authorizing the collection or expenditure of 
        entrance or use fees at units of the National Park System, 
        including--
                    (i) the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 
                1965 (16 U.S.C. 460l-4 et seq.); and
                    (ii) the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act 
                (16 U.S.C. 6801 et seq.).
            (B) Any unexpended receipts collected through--
                    (i) the recreational fee demonstration program 
                established under section 315 of the Department of the 
                Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996 
                (16 U.S.C. 460l-6a note; Public Law 104-134); or
                    (ii) the national park passport program established 
                under section 602 of the National Parks Omnibus

school districts authorized under this section) is greater than or 
equal to the amount made available to the park for the prior fiscal 
year, or in fiscal year 2005, whichever is greater.
    (B) It is the sense of Congress that any payments made under this 
section should not result in a reduction of funds to Yosemite National 
Park from any specific funding source, and that with respect to 
appropriated funds, funding levels should reflect annual increases in 
the park's operating base funds that are generally made to units of the 
National Park System.
