     comment.
       (c) Contents of report.--The report shall contain the 
     following:
       (1) A comprehensive listing of all authorized but 
     unacquired parcels of land within the exterior boundaries of

     System unit and for the System as a whole. The list shall 
     describe the acreage and ownership of each parcel, the 
     estimated cost of acquisition for each parcel (subject to any 
     statutory acquisition limitations for the land), and the 
     basis for the estimate.
       (3) An analysis and evaluation of the current and future 
     needs of each System unit for resource management, 
     interpretation, construction, operation and maintenance, 
     personnel, and housing, together with an estimate of the 
     costs.

     Sec. 100506. Boundary changes to System units

     criteria to evaluate any proposed changes to the boundaries 
     of System units, including--
       (1) analysis of whether or not an existing boundary 
     provides for the adequate protection and preservation of the 
     natural, historic, cultural, scenic and recreational 
     resources integral to the System unit;
       (2) an evaluation of each parcel proposed for addition or 
     deletion to a System unit based on the analysis under 
     paragraph (1); and
       (3) an assessment of the impact of potential boundary 
     adjustments taking into consideration the factors in section 
     100505(c)(3) of this title and the effect of the adjustments 
     on the local communities and surrounding area.
       (b) Proposal of Secretary.--In proposing a boundary change 
     to a System unit, the Secretary shall--
       (1) consult with affected agencies of State and local 
     governments, surrounding communities, affected landowners, 
     and private national, regional, and local organizations;
       (2) apply the criteria developed pursuant to subsection (a) 
     and accompany the proposal with a statement reflecting the 
     results of the application of the criteria; and
       (3) include with the proposal an estimate of the cost for 
     acquiring any parcels proposed for acquisition, the basis for 
     the estimate, and a statement on the relative priority for 
     the acquisition of each parcel within the priorities for 
     acquisition of other parcels for the System unit and for the 
     System.
       (c) Minor Boundary Changes.--
       (1) In general.--When the Secretary determines that to do 
     so will contribute to, and is necessary for, the proper 
     preservation, protection, interpretation, or management of a 
     System unit, the Secretary may, following timely notice in 
     writing to the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources of the Senate of the Secretary's intention to do 
     so, and by publication of a revised boundary map or other 
     description in the Federal Register--
       (A) make minor changes to the boundary of the System unit, 
     and amounts appropriated from the Fund shall be available for 
     acquisition of any land, water, and interests in land or 
     water added to the System unit by the boundary change subject 
     to such statutory limitations, if any, on methods of 
     acquisition and appropriations thereof as may be specifically 
     applicable to the System unit; and
       (B) acquire by donation, purchase with donated funds, 
     transfer from any other Federal agency, or exchange, land, 
     water, or interests in land or water adjacent to the System 
     unit, except that in exercising the Secretary's authority 
     under this subparagraph the Secretary--
       (i) shall not alienate property administered as part of the 
     System to acquire land by exchange;
       (ii) shall not acquire property without the consent of the 
     owner; and
       (iii) may acquire property owned by a State or political 
     subdivision of a State only by donation.
       (2) Consultation.--Prior to making a determination under 
     this subsection, the Secretary shall consult with the 
     governing body of the county, city, town, or other 
     jurisdiction or jurisdictions having primary taxing authority 
     over the land or interest to be acquired as to the impacts of 
     the proposed action.
       (3) Action to advance local public awareness.--The 
     Secretary shall take such steps as the Secretary considers 
     appropriate to advance local public awareness of the proposed 
     action.
       (4) Administration of acquisitions.--Land, water, and 
     interests in land or water acquired in accordance with this 
     subsection shall be administered as part of the System unit 
     to which they are added, subject to the laws and regulations 
     applicable to the System unit.
       (5) When authority applies.--For the purposes of paragraph 
     (1)(A), in all cases except the case of technical boundary 
     changes (resulting from such causes as survey error or 
     changed road alignments), the authority of the Secretary 
     under paragraph (1)(A) shall apply only if each of the 
     following conditions is met:
       (A) The sum of the total acreage of the land, water, and 
     interests in land or water to be added to the System unit and 
     the total acreage of the land, water, and interests in land 
     or water to be deleted from the System unit is not more than 
     5 percent of the total Federal acreage authorized to be 
     included in the System unit and is less than 200 acres.
       (B) The acquisition, if any, is not a major Federal action 
     significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, 
     as determined by the Secretary.
       (C) The sum of the total appraised value of the land, 
     water, and interests in land or water to be added to the 
     System unit and the total appraised value of the land, water, 
     and interests in land or water to be deleted from the System 
     unit does not exceed $750,000.
       (D) The proposed boundary change is not an element of a 
     more comprehensive boundary change proposal.
       (E) The proposed boundary has been subject to a public 
     review and comment period.
       (F) The Director obtains written consent for the boundary 
     change from all property owners whose land, water, or

     Sec. 100731. Findings and declaration

       Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) the level of technology of mineral exploration and 
     development has changed radically, and continued application 
     of the mining laws of the United States to System units to 
     which the mining laws apply conflicts with the purposes for 
     which the System units were established; and
       (2) all mining operations in System units should be

     that lie within the boundaries of System units in existence 
     on September 28, 1976, that were not recorded with the 
     Secretary within one year after September 28, 1976, shall be 
     conclusively presumed to be abandoned and shall be void. The 
     recordation does not render valid any claim that was not 
     valid on September 28, 1976, or that becomes invalid after 
     that date.

     Sec. 100734. Report on finding or notification of potential 
       damage to natural and historical landmarks

       When the Secretary finds on the Secretary's own motion or 
     on being notified in writing by an appropriate scientific, 
     historical, or archeological authority that a district, site, 
     building, structure, or object that has been found to be 
     nationally significant in illustrating natural history or the 
     history of the United States and that has been designated as 
     a natural or historic landmark may be irreparably lost or 
     destroyed in whole or in part by any surface mining activity, 
     including exploration for or removal or production of 
     minerals or materials, the Secretary shall notify the person 
     conducting the activity and submit a report on the findings 
     or notification, including the basis for the Secretary's

     destruction of a national landmark, to the Advisory Council 
     on Historic Preservation, with a request for advice of the 
     Council as to alternative measures that may be taken by the 
     United States to mitigate or abate the activity.

     Sec. 100735. Civil actions for just compensation by mining 
       claim holders

       The holder of any patented or unpatented mining claim 
     subject to this subchapter that believes the holder has 
     suffered a loss by operation of this subchapter, or by orders 
     or regulations issued pursuant to this subchapter, may bring 
     a civil action in United States district court to recover 
     just compensation, which shall be awarded if the court finds 
     that the loss constitutes a taking of property compensable 
     under the Constitution.

     Sec. 100736. Acquisition of land by Secretary

       Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to limit the 
     authority of the Secretary to acquire land and interests in 
     land within the boundary of any System unit. The Secretary 
     shall give prompt and careful consideration to any offer made 
     by the owner of any valid right or other property in Glacier 
     Bay National Monument, Death Valley National Monument, Organ 
     Pipe Cactus National Monument, or Mount McKinley National 
     Park to sell the right or other property if the owner 
     notifies the Secretary that the continued ownership of the 
     right or property is causing, or would result in, undue 
     hardship.

     Sec. 100737. Financial disclosure by officer or employee of 
       Secretary

       (a) Written Statements.--Each officer or employee of the 
     Secretary who--
       (1) performs any function or duty under this subchapter, or

                  Subchapter I--Authority of Secretary

     Sec. 101901. Utility services.

       To facilitate the administration of the System, the 
     Secretary, under such terms and conditions as the Secretary 
     considers advisable, may furnish, on a reimbursement of 
     appropriation basis, all types of utility services to 
     concessioners, contractors, permittees, or other users of the 
     services, within the System. The reimbursements for cost of 
     the services may be credited to the appropriation current at 
     the time reimbursements are received.

               Subchapter II--Commercial Visitor Services

     Sec. 101911. Definitions

       In this subchapter:
       (1) Advisory board.--The term ``Advisory Board'' means the 
     National Park Service Concessions Management Advisory Board 
     established under section 101919 of this title.
       (2) Preferential right of renewal.--The term ``preferential 
     right of renewal'' means the right of a concessioner, subject 
     to a determination by the Secretary that the facilities or 
     services authorized by a prior contract continue to be 
     necessary and appropriate within the meaning of section 
     101912 of this title, to match the terms and conditions of 
     any competing proposal that the Secretary determines to be 
     the best proposal for a proposed new concession contract that 
     authorizes the continuation of the facilities and services 
     provided by the concessioner under its prior contract.

     Sec. 101912. Findings and declaration of policy

       (a) Findings.--In furtherance of section 100101(a), 
     Congress finds that the preservation and conservation of 
     System unit resources and values requires that public 
     accommodations, facilities, and services that have to be 
     provided within those System units should be provided only 
     under carefully controlled safeguards against unregulated and 
     indiscriminate use, so that--
       (1) visitation will not unduly impair those resources and 
     values; and
       (2) development of public accommodations, facilities, and 
     services within System units can best be limited to locations 
     that are consistent to the highest practicable degree with 
     the preservation and conservation of the resources and values 
     of the System units.
       (b) Declaration of Policy.--It is the policy of Congress 
     that the development of public accommodations, facilities, 
     and services in System units shall be limited to 
     accommodations, facilities, and services that--
       (1) are necessary and appropriate for public use and 
     enjoyment of the System unit in which they are located; and
       (2) are consistent to the highest practicable degree with 
     the preservation and conservation of the resources and values 
     of the System unit.

     Sec. 101913. Award of concession contracts

       In furtherance of the findings and policy stated in section 
     101912 of this title, and except as provided by this 
     subchapter or otherwise authorized by law, the Secretary 
     shall utilize concession contracts to authorize a person, 
     corporation, or other entity to provide accommodations, 
     facilities, and services to visitors to System units. 
     Concession contracts shall be awarded as follows:
       (1) Competitive selection process.--Except as otherwise 
     provided in this section, all proposed concession contracts 
     shall be awarded by the Secretary to the person, corporation, 
     or other entity submitting the best proposal, as determined 
     by the Secretary through a competitive selection process. The 
     competitive process shall include simplified procedures for 
     small, individually-owned entities seeking award of a 
     concession contract.
       (2) Solicitation of proposals.--Except as otherwise 
     provided in this section, prior to awarding a new concession 
     contract (including renewals or extensions of existing 
     concession contracts) the Secretary--
       (A) shall publicly solicit proposals for the concession 
     contract; and
       (B) in connection with the solicitation, shall--
       (i) prepare a prospectus and publish notice of its 
     availability at least once in local or national newspapers or 
     trade publications, by electronic means, or both, as 
     appropriate; and
       (ii) make the prospectus available on request to all 
     interested persons.
       (3) Information to be included in prospectus.--The 
     prospectus shall include the following information:

     in paragraph (4).
       (B) The terms and conditions of any existing concession 
     contract relating to the services and facilities to be 
     provided, including all fees and other forms of compensation 
     provided to the United States by the concessioner.
       (C) Other authorized facilities or services that may be 
     provided in a proposal.
       (D) Facilities and services to be provided by the Secretary 
     to the concessioner, including public access, utilities, and

     existing concessioner from a new concessioner under the terms 
     of a prior concession contract.
       (F) A statement as to the weight to be given to each 
     selection factor identified in the prospectus and the 
     relative importance of those factors in the selection 
     process.
       (G) Other information related to the proposed concession 
     operation that is provided to the Secretary pursuant to a 
     concession contract or is otherwise available to the 
     Secretary, as the Secretary determines is necessary to allow 
     for the submission of competitive proposals.
       (H) Where applicable, a description of a preferential right 
     to the renewal of the proposed concession contract held by an 
     existing concessioner as set forth in paragraph (7).
       (4) Consideration of proposals.--
       (A) Minimum requirements.--No proposal shall be considered 
     that fails to meet the minimum requirements as determined by 
     the Secretary. The minimum requirements shall include the 
     following:

     consideration to the Federal Government.
       (ii) Any facilities, services, or capital investment 
     required to be provided by the concessioner.
       (iii) Measures necessary to ensure the protection, 
     conservation, and preservation of resources of the System 
     unit.
       (B) Rejection of proposal.--The Secretary shall reject any 
     proposal, regardless of the franchise fee offered, if the 
     Secretary determines that--
       (i) the person, corporation, or entity is not qualified or 
     is not likely to provide satisfactory service; or
       (ii) the proposal is not responsive to the objectives of 
     protecting and preserving resources of the System unit and of 
     providing necessary and appropriate facilities and services 
     to the public at reasonable rates.
       (C) All proposals fail to meet mimimum requirements or are 
     rejected.--If all proposals submitted to the Secretary fail 
     to meet the minimum requirements or are rejected by the 
     Secretary, the Secretary shall establish new minimum contract 
     requirements and re-initiate the competitive selection 
     process pursuant to this section.
       (D) Terms and conditions materially amended or not 
     incorporated in contract.--The Secretary may not execute a 
     concession contract that materially amends or does not 
     incorporate the proposed terms and conditions of the 
     concession contract as set forth in the applicable 
     prospectus. If proposed material amendments or changes are 
     considered appropriate by the Secretary, the Secretary shall 
     resolicit offers for the concession contract incorporating 
     the material amendments or changes.
       (5) Selection of the best proposal.--
       (A) Factors in selection.--In selecting the best proposal, 
     the Secretary shall consider the following principal factors:
       (i) The responsiveness of the proposal to the objectives of 
     protecting, conserving, and preserving resources of the 
     System unit and of providing necessary and appropriate 
     facilities and services to the public at reasonable rates.
       (ii) The experience and related background of the person, 
     corporation, or entity submitting the proposal, including the 
     past performance and expertise of the person, corporation or 
     entity in providing the same or similar facilities or 
     services.
       (iii) The financial capability of the person, corporation, 
     or entity submitting the proposal.
       (iv) The proposed franchise fee, except that consideration 
     of revenue to the United States shall be subordinate to the 
     objectives of protecting, conserving, and preserving 
     resources of the System unit and of providing necessary and 
     appropriate facilities to the public at reasonable rates.
       (B) Secondary factors.--The Secretary may also consider 
     such secondary factors as the Secretary considers 
     appropriate.
       (C) Development of regulations.--In developing regulations 
     to implement this subchapter, the Secretary shall consider 
     the extent to which plans for employment of Indians 
     (including Native Alaskans) and involvement of businesses 
     owned by Indians, Indian tribes, or Native Alaskans in the 
     operation of a concession contract should be identified as a 
     factor in the selection of a best proposal under this 
     section.
       (6) Congressional notification.--
       (A) In general.--The Secretary shall submit any proposed 
     concession contract with anticipated annual gross receipts in

     proposed concession contract to which subparagraph (A) 
     applies until at least 60 days subsequent to the notification 
     of both Committees.
       (7) Preferential right of renewal.--
       (A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B), 
     the Secretary shall not grant a concessioner a preferential 
     right to renew a concession contract, or any other form of 
     preference to a concession contract.

     constructed by a concessioner pursuant to the terms of a 
     concession contract prior to November 13, 1998, or

     subchapter shall generally be awarded for a term of 10 years 
     or less. The Secretary may award a contract for a term of up 
     to 20 years if the Secretary determines that the contract 
     terms and conditions, including the required construction of 
     capital improvements, warrant a longer term.

     Sec. 101915. Protection of concessioner investment

       (a) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Capital improvement.--The term ``capital improvement'' 
     means a structure, a fixture, or nonremovable equipment 
     provided by a concessioner pursuant to the terms of a 
     concession contract and located on land of the United States 
     within a System unit.
       (2) Consumer price index.--The term ``Consumer Price 
     Index'' means--
       (A) the ``Consumer Price Index--All Urban Consumers'' 
     published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department 
     of Labor; or
       (B) if the Index is not published, another regularly 
     published cost-of-living index approximating the Consumer 
     Price Index.
       (b) Leasehold Surrender Interest in Capital Improvements.--
     A concessioner that constructs a capital improvement on land 
     owned by the United States within a System unit pursuant to a 
     concession contract shall have a leasehold surrender interest 
     in the capital improvement subject to the following terms and 
     conditions:
       (1) In general.--A concessioner shall have a leasehold 
     surrender interest in each capital improvement constructed by 
     a concessioner under a concession contract, consisting solely 
     of a right to compensation for the capital improvement to the 
     extent of the value of the concessioner's leasehold surrender 
     interest in the capital improvement.
       (2) Pledge as security.--A leasehold surrender interest may 
     be pledged as security for financing of a capital improvement 
     or the acquisition of a concession contract when approved by 
     the Secretary pursuant to this subchapter.
       (3) Transfer and relinquishment or waiver of interest.--A 
     leasehold surrender interest shall be transferred by the 
     concessioner in connection with any transfer of the 
     concession contract and may be relinquished or waived by the 
     concessioner.
       (4) Limit on extinguishing or taking interest.--A leasehold 
     surrender interest shall not be extinguished by the 
     expiration or other termination of a concession contract and 
     may not be taken for public use except on payment of just 
     compensation.
       (5) Value of interest.--The value of a leasehold surrender 
     interest in a capital improvement shall be an amount equal to 
     the initial value (construction cost of the capital 
     improvement), increased (or decreased) by the same percentage 
     increase (or decrease) as the percentage increase (or 
     decrease) in the Consumer Price Index, from the date of 
     making the investment in the capital improvement by the 
     concessioner to the date of payment of the value of the 
     leasehold surrender interest, less depreciation of the 
     capital improvement as evidenced by the condition and 
     prospective serviceability in comparison with a new unit of 
     like kind.
       (6) Value of interest in certain new concession 
     contracts.--
       (A) How value is determined.--The Secretary may provide, in 
     any new concession contract that the Secretary estimates will 
     have a leasehold surrender interest of more than $10,000,000, 
     that the value of any leasehold surrender interest in a 
     capital improvement shall be based on--
       (i) a reduction on an annual basis, in equal portions, over 
     the same number of years as the time period associated with 
     the straight line depreciation of the initial value 
     (construction cost of the capital improvement), as provided 
     by applicable Federal income tax laws and regulations in 
     effect on November 12, 1998; or
       (ii) an alternative formula that is consistent with the 
     objectives of this subchapter.
       (B) When alternative formula may be used.--The Secretary 
     may use an alternative formula under subparagraph (A)(ii) 
     only if the Secretary determines, after scrutiny of the 
     financial and other circumstances involved in the particular 
     concession contract (including providing notice in the 
     Federal Register and opportunity for comment), that the 
     alternative formula is, compared to the standard method of 
     determining value provided for in paragraph (5), necessary to 
     provide a fair return to the Federal Government and to foster 
     competition for the new contract by providing a reasonable 
     opportunity to make a profit under the new contract. If no 
     responsive offers are received in response to a solicitation 
     that includes the alternative formula, the concession 
     opportunity shall be resolicited with the leasehold surrender 
     interest value as described in paragraph (5).
       (7) Increase in value of interest.--Where a concessioner, 
     pursuant to the terms of a concession contract, makes a 
     capital improvement to an existing capital improvement in 
     which the concessioner has a leasehold surrender interest, 
     the cost of the additional capital improvement shall be added 
     to the then-current value of the concessioner's leasehold 
     surrender interest.
       (c) Special Rule for Possessory Interest Existing Before 
     November 13, 1998.--
       (1) In general.--A concessioner that has obtained a 
     possessory interest (as defined pursuant to the Act of 
     October 9, 1965 (known as the National Park Service 
     Concessions Policy Act; Public Law 89-249, 79 Stat. 969), as 
     in effect on November 12, 1998) under the terms of a 
     concession contract entered into before November 13, 1998, 
     shall, on the expiration or termination of the concession 
     contract, be entitled to receive compensation for the 
     possessory interest improvements in the amount and manner as 
     described by the concession contract. Where that possessory 
     interest is not described in the existing concession 
     contract, compensation of possessory interest shall be 
     determined in accordance with the laws in effect on November 
     12, 1998.
       (2) Existing concessioner awarded a new contract.--A 
     concessioner awarded a new concession contract to replace an 
     existing concession contract after November 13, 1998, instead 
     of directly receiving the possessory interest compensation, 
     shall have a leasehold surrender interest in its existing 
     possessory interest improvements under the terms of the new 
     concession contract and shall carry over as the initial value 
     of the leasehold surrender interest (instead of construction 
     cost) an amount equal to the value of the existing possessory 
     interest as of the termination date of the previous 
     concession contract. In the event of a dispute between the 
     concessioner and the Secretary as to the value

[[Page H5466]]

     of the possessory interest, the matter shall be resolved 
     through binding arbitration.
       (3) New concessioner awarded a contract.--A new 
     concessioner awarded a concession contract and required to 
     pay a prior concessioner for possessory interest in prior 
     improvements shall have a leasehold surrender interest in the 
     prior improvements. The initial value in the leasehold 
     surrender interest (instead of construction cost) shall be an 
     amount equal to the value of the existing possessory interest 
     as of the termination date of the previous concession 
     contract.
       (4) De novo review of value determination.--If the 
     Secretary, or either party to a value determination 
     proceeding conducted under a Service concession contract 
     issued before November 13, 1998, considers that the value 
     determination decision issued pursuant to the proceeding 
     misinterprets or misapplies relevant contractual requirements 
     or their underlying legal authority, the Secretary or either 
     party may seek, within 180 days after the date of the 
     decision, de novo review of the value determination decision 
     by the United States Court of Federal Claims. The Court of 
     Federal Claims may make an order affirming, vacating, 
     modifying or correcting the determination decision.
       (d) Transition to Successor Concessioner.--On expiration or 
     termination of a concession contract entered into after 
     November 13, 1998, a concessioner shall be entitled under the 
     terms of the concession contract to receive from the United 
     States or a successor concessioner the value of any leasehold 
     surrender interest in a capital improvement as of the date of 
     the expiration or termination. A successor concessioner shall 
     have a leasehold surrender interest in the capital 
     improvement under the terms of a new concession contract and 
     the initial value of the leasehold surrender interest in the 
     capital improvement (instead of construction cost) shall be 
     the amount of money the new concessioner is required to pay 
     the prior concessioner for its leasehold surrender interest 
     under the terms of the prior concession contract.
       (e) Title to Improvements.--Title to any capital 
     improvement constructed by a concessioner on land owned by 
     the United States in a System unit shall be vested in the 
     United States.

     Sec. 101916. Reasonableness of rates and charges

       (a) In General.--A concession contract shall permit the 
     concessioner to set reasonable and appropriate rates and 
     charges for facilities, goods, and services provided to the 
     public, subject to approval under subsection (b).
       (b) Approval by Secretary Required.--
       (1) Factors to consider.--A concessioner's rates and 
     charges to the public shall be subject to approval by the 
     Secretary. The approval process utilized by the Secretary 
     shall be as prompt and as unburdensome to the concessioner as 
     possible and shall rely on market forces to establish 
     reasonableness of rates and charges to the maximum extent 
     practicable. The Secretary shall approve rates and charges 
     that the Secretary determines to be reasonable and 
     appropriate. Unless otherwise provided in the concession 
     contract, the reasonableness and appropriateness of rates and 
     charges shall be determined primarily by comparison with 
     those rates and charges for facilities, goods, and services 
     of comparable character under similar conditions, with due 
     consideration to the following factors and other factors 
     deemed relevant by the Secretary:
       (A) Length of season.
       (B) Peakloads.
       (C) Average percentage of occupancy.
       (D) Accessibility.
       (E) Availability and costs of labor and materials.
       (F) Type of patronage.
       (2) Rates and charges not to exceed market rates and 
     charges.--Rates and charges may not exceed the market rates 
     and charges for comparable facilities, goods, and services, 
     after taking into account the factors referred to in 
     paragraph (1).
       (c) Implementation of Recommendations.--Not later than 6 
     months after receiving recommendations from the Advisory 
     Board regarding concessioner rates and charges to the public, 
     the Secretary shall implement the recommendations or report 
     to Congress the reasons for not implementing the 
     recommendations.

     Sec. 101917. Franchise fees

       (a) In General.--A concession contract shall provide for 
     payment to the Federal Government of a franchise fee or other 
     monetary consideration as determined by the Secretary, on 
     consideration of the probable value to the concessioner of 
     the privileges granted by the particular contract involved. 
     Probable value shall be based on a reasonable opportunity for 
     net profit in relation to capital invested and the 
     obligations of the concession contract. Consideration of 
     revenue to the United States shall be subordinate to the 
     objectives of protecting and preserving System units and of 
     providing necessary and appropriate services for visitors at 
     reasonable rates.
       (b) Provisions To Be Specified in Contract.--The amount of 
     the franchise fee or other monetary consideration paid to the 
     United States for the term of the concession contract shall 
     be specified in the concession contract and may be modified 
     only to reflect extraordinary unanticipated changes from the 
     conditions anticipated as of the effective date of the 
     concession contract. The Secretary shall include in 
     concession contracts with a term of more than 5 years a 
     provision that allows reconsideration of the franchise fee at 
     the request of the Secretary or the concessioner in the event 
     of extraordinary unanticipated changes. The provision shall 
     provide for binding arbitration in the event that the 
     Secretary and the concessioner are unable to agree on an 
     adjustment to the franchise fee in those circumstances.
       (c) Special Account in Treasury.--
       (1) Deposit and availability.--All franchise fees (and 
     other monetary consideration) paid to the United States 
     pursuant to concession contracts shall be deposited in a 
     special account established in the Treasury. Twenty percent 
     of the funds deposited in the special account shall be 
     available for expenditure by the Secretary, without further 
     appropriation, to support activities throughout the System 
     regardless of the System unit in which the funds were 
     collected. The funds deposited in the special account shall 
     remain available until expended.
       (2) Subaccount for each system unit.--There shall be 
     established within the special account a subaccount for each 
     System unit. Each subaccount shall be credited with 80 
     percent of the franchise fees (and other monetary 
     consideration) collected at a single System unit under 
     concession contracts. The funds credited to the subaccount 
     for a System unit shall be available for expenditure by the 
     Secretary, without further appropriation, for use at the 
     System unit for visitor services and for purposes of funding 
     high-priority and urgently necessary resource management 
     programs and operations. The funds credited to a subaccount 
     shall remain available until expended.

     Sec. 101918. Transfer or conveyance of concession contracts 
       or leasehold surrender interests

       (a) Approval of Secretary.--No concession contract or 
     leasehold surrender interest may be transferred, assigned, 
     sold, or otherwise conveyed or pledged by a concessioner 
     without prior written notification to, and approval by, the 
     Secretary.
       (b) Conditions.--The Secretary shall approve a transfer or 
     conveyance described in subsection (a) unless the Secretary 
     finds that--
       (1) the individual, corporation, or other entity seeking to 
     acquire a concession contract is not qualified or able to 
     satisfy the terms and conditions of the concession contract;
       (2) the transfer or conveyance would have an adverse impact 
     on--
       (A) the protection, conservation, or preservation of the 
     resources of the System unit; or
       (B) the provision of necessary and appropriate facilities 
     and services to visitors at reasonable rates and charges; and
       (3) the terms of the transfer or conveyance are likely, 
     directly or indirectly, to--
       (A) reduce the concessioner's opportunity for a reasonable 
     profit over the remaining term of the concession contract;
       (B) adversely affect the quality of facilities and services 
     provided by the concessioner; or
       (C) result in a need for increased rates and charges to the 
     public to maintain the quality of the facilities and 
     services.
       (c) Modification or Renegotiation of Terms.--The terms and 
     conditions of any concession contract under this section 
     shall not be subject to modification or open to renegotiation 
     by the Secretary because of a transfer or conveyance 
     described in subsection (a) unless the transfer or conveyance 
     would have an adverse impact as described in subsection 
     (b)(2).

     recover associated management and administrative costs;
       (B) require that the provision of services under a 
     commercial use authorization be accomplished in a manner 
     consistent to the highest practicable degree with the

     authorization shall not provide for the construction of any 
     structure, fixture, or improvement on federally-owned land

     Sec. 104906. Protection of right of individuals to bear arms

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The 2d amendment to the Constitution provides that 
     ``the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be 
     infringed''.
       (2) Section 2.4(a)(1) of title 36, Code of Federal 
     Regulations, provides that ``except as otherwise provided in 
     this section and parts 7 (special regulations) and 13 (Alaska 
     regulations), the following are prohibited: (i) Possessing a 
     weapon, trap or net (ii) Carrying a weapon, trap or net (iii) 
     Using a weapon, trap or net''.
       (3) The regulations described in paragraph (2) prevent 
     individuals complying with Federal and State laws from 
     exercising the 2d amendment rights of the individuals while 
     at System units.
       (4) The existence of different laws relating to the 
     transportation and possession of firearms at different System 
     units entrapped law-abiding gun owners while at System units.
       (5) Although the Bush administration issued new regulations 
     relating to the 2d amendment rights of law-abiding citizens 
     in System units that went into effect on January 9, 2009--
       (A) on March 19, 2009, the United States District Court for 
     the District of Columbia granted a preliminary injunction 
     with respect to the implementation and enforcement of the new 
     regulations; and
       (B) the new regulations--
       (i) are under review by the Obama administration; and
       (ii) may be altered.
       (6) Congress needs to weigh in on the new regulations to 
     ensure that unelected bureaucrats and judges cannot again 
     override the 2d amendment rights of law-abiding citizens on 
     83,600,000 acres of System land.
       (7) Federal laws should make it clear that the 2d amendment 
     rights of an individual at a System unit should not be 
     infringed.
       (b) Protection of Right of Individuals To Bear Arms in 
     System Units.--The Secretary shall not promulgate or enforce 
     any regulation that prohibits an individual from possessing a 
     firearm, including an assembled or functional firearm, in any 
     System unit if--
       (1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from 
     possessing the firearm; and
       (2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the 
     law of the State in which the System unit is located.

     Sec. 104907. Limitation on extension or establishment of 
       national parks in Wyoming

       No extension or establishment of national parks in Wyoming 
     may be undertaken except by express authorization of

     available for State purposes. Payments may be made to the 
     States by the Secretary as provided in this section, subject

       (2) Acquisition of land, water, or interests in land or 
     water.
       (3) Development.
       (b) Apportionment Among States.--Amounts appropriated and 
     available for State purposes for each fiscal year shall be 
     apportioned among the States by the Secretary, whose 
     determination shall be final, in accordance with the 
     following formula:
       (1) Forty percent of the 1st $225,000,000; 30 percent of 
     the next $275,000,000; and 20 percent of all additional 
     appropriations shall be apportioned equally among the States.
       (2) At any time, the remaining appropriation shall be 
     apportioned on the basis of need to individual States by the 
     Secretary in such amounts as in the Secretary's judgment will 
     best accomplish the purposes of this chapter. The 
     determination of need shall include consideration of---
       (A) the proportion that the population of each State bears 
     to the total population of the United States;
       (B) the use of outdoor recreation resources of each State 
     by persons from outside the State; and
       (C) the Federal resources and programs in each State.
       (3) The total allocation to a State under paragraphs (1) 
     and (2) shall not exceed 10 percent of the total amount 
     allocated to all of the States in any one year.
       (4) The Secretary shall notify each State of its 
     apportionments. The amounts shall be available for payment to 
     the State for planning, acquisition, or development projects 
     as prescribed. Any amount of any apportionment that has not 
     been paid or obligated by the Secretary during the fiscal 
     year in which the notification is given and for 2 fiscal 
     years thereafter shall be reapportioned by the Secretary in 
     accordance with paragraph (2) without regard to the 10 
     percent limitation to an individual State specified in this 
     subsection.
       (5) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the District of 
     Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin 
     Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands shall be deemed to

     in proportion to their populations.
       (c) Matching Requirements.--Payments to any State shall 
     cover not more than 50 percent of the cost of planning, 
     acquisition, or development projects that are undertaken by 
     the State. The remaining share of the cost shall be borne by 
     the State in a manner and with funds or services as shall be 
     satisfactory to the Secretary.
       (d) Comprehensive State Plan.--
       (1) Required for consideration of financial assistance.--A 
     comprehensive statewide outdoor recreation plan shall be 
     required prior to the consideration by the Secretary of 
     financial assistance for acquisition or development projects. 
     The plan shall be adequate if, in the judgment of the 
     Secretary, it encompasses and will promote the purposes of 
     this chapter. No plan shall be approved unless the chief 
     executive official of the State certifies that ample 
     opportunity for public participation in plan development and 
     revision has been accorded. The Secretary shall develop, in 
     consultation with others, criteria for public participation, 
     which criteria shall constitute the basis for the 
     certification by the chief executive official. The plan shall 
     contain--
       (A) the name of the State agency that will have authority 
     to represent and act for the State in dealing with the 
     Secretary for purposes of this chapter;
       (B) an evaluation of the demand for and supply of outdoor 
     recreation resources and facilities in the State;
       (C) a program for the implementation of the plan; and
       (D) other necessary information, as determined by the 
     Secretary.
       (2) Factors to be considered.--The plan shall take into 
     account relevant Federal resources and programs and shall be 
     correlated so far as practicable with other State, regional, 
     and local plans. Where there exists or is in preparation for 
     any particular State a comprehensive plan financed in part 
     with funds supplied by the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
     Development, any statewide outdoor recreation plan prepared 
     for purposes of this part shall be based on the same 
     population, growth, and other pertinent factors as are used 
     in formulating plans financed by the Secretary of Housing and 
     Urban Development.
       (3) Provision of assistance when plan not otherwise 
     available or to maintain plan.--The Secretary may provide 
     financial assistance to any State for projects for the 
     preparation of a comprehensive statewide outdoor recreation 
     plan when the plan is not otherwise available or for the 
     maintenance of the plan.
       (4) Wetlands.--A comprehensive statewide outdoor recreation 
     plan shall specifically address wetlands within the State as 
     an important outdoor recreation resource as a prerequisite to 
     approval, except that a revised comprehensive statewide 
     outdoor recreation plan shall not be required by the 
     Secretary, if a State submits, and the Secretary, acting 
     through the Director, approves, as a part of and as an 
     addendum to the existing comprehensive statewide outdoor 
     recreation plan, a wetlands priority plan developed in 
     consultation with the State agency with responsibility for 
     fish and wildlife resources and consistent with the national 
     wetlands priority conservation plan developed under section 
     301 of the Emergency Wetlands Resources Act of 1986 (16 
     U.S.C. 3921) or, if the national plan has not been completed, 
     consistent with the provisions of that section.
       (e) Projects for Land and Water Acquisition and Development 
     of Basic Outdoor Recreation Facilities.--
       (1) In general.--In addition to assistance for planning 
     projects, the Secretary may provide financial assistance to 
     any State for the types of projects described in paragraphs 
     (2) and (3), or combinations of those projects, if the 
     projects are in accordance with the State comprehensive plan.
       (2) Acquisition of land or water.--
       (A) In general.--Under paragraph (1), the Secretary may 
     provide financial assistance for a project for the 
     acquisition of land, water, or an interest in land or water, 
     or a wetland area or an interest in a wetland area, as 
     identified in the wetlands provisions of the comprehensive 
     plan (other than land, water, or an interest in land or water 
     acquired from the United States for less than fair market 
     value), but not including incidental costs relating to 
     acquisition.
       (B) Retention of right of use and occupancy.--When a State 
     provides that the owner of a single-family residence may, at 
     the owner's

[[Page H5474]]

     option, elect to retain a right of use and occupancy for not 
     less than 6 months after the date of acquisition of the 
     residence and the owner elects to retain such a right--
       (i) the owner shall be deemed to have waived any benefits 
     under sections 203 to 206 of the Uniform Relocation 
     Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 
     (42 U.S.C. 4623 to 4626); and
       (ii) for the purposes of those sections the owner shall not 
     be deemed to be a displaced person as defined in section 101 
     of that Act (42 U.S.C. 4601).
       (3) Development of basic outdoor recreation facilities.--
     Under paragraph (1), the Secretary may provide financial 
     assistance for a project for development of basic outdoor 
     recreation facilities to serve the general public, including 
     the development of Federal land under lease to States for 
     terms of 25 years or more. No assistance shall be available 
     under this chapter to enclose or shelter a facility normally 
     used for an outdoor recreation activity, but the Secretary 
     may permit local funding, not to exceed 10 percent of the 
     total amount allocated to a State in any one year, to be used 
     for construction of a sheltered facility for a swimming pool 
     or ice skating rink in an area where the Secretary determines 
     that the construction is justified by the severity of 
     climatic conditions and the increased public use made 
     possible by the construction.
       (f) Payments.--
       (1) Criteria for making payments.--The Secretary may make a 
     payment to a State only for a planning, acquisition, or 
     development project that is approved by the Secretary. The 
     Secretary shall not make a payment for or on account of any 
     project with respect to which financial assistance has been 
     given or promised under any other Federal program or 
     activity, and no financial assistance shall be given under 
     any other Federal program or activity for or on account of 
     any project with respect to which the assistance has been 
     given or promised under this chapter. The Secretary may make 
     payments from time to time in keeping with the rate of 
     progress toward the satisfactory completion of a project. The 
     approval of all projects and all payments, or any commitments 
     relating thereto, shall be withheld until the Secretary 
     receives appropriate written assurance from the State that 
     the State has the ability and intention to finance its share 
     of the cost of all of the projects, and to operate and 
     maintain by acceptable standards, at State expense, the 
     properties or facilities acquired or developed for public 
     outdoor recreation use.
       (2) Payment recipients.--Payments for all projects shall be 
     made by the Secretary to the chief executive official of the 
     State or to a State official or agency designated by the 
     chief executive official or by State law having authority and 
     responsibility to accept and to administer funds paid under 
     this section for approved projects. If consistent with an 
     approved project, funds may be transferred by the State to a 
     political subdivision or other appropriate public agency.
       (3) Conversion to other than public outdoor recreation 
     use.--No property acquired or developed with assistance under 
     this section shall, without the approval of the Secretary, be 
     converted to other than public outdoor recreation use. The 
     Secretary shall approve a conversion only if the Secretary 
     finds it to be in accordance with the then-existing 
     comprehensive statewide outdoor recreation plan and only on 
     such conditions as the Secretary considers necessary to 
     ensure the substitution of other recreation properties of at 
     least equal fair market value and of reasonably equivalent 
     usefulness and location. Wetland areas and interests therein 
     as identified in the wetlands provisions of the comprehensive 
     plan and proposed to be acquired as suitable replacement 
     property within the same State that is otherwise acceptable 
     to the Secretary, acting through the Director, shall be 
     deemed to be of reasonably equivalent usefulness with the 
     property proposed for conversion.
       (4) Reports and accounting procedures.--No payment shall be 
     made to any State until the State has agreed to--
       (A) provide such reports to the Secretary in such form and 
     containing such information as may be reasonably necessary to 
     enable the Secretary to perform the Secretary's duties under 
     this chapter; and
       (B) provide such fiscal control and fund accounting 
     procedures as may be necessary to ensure proper disbursement 
     and accounting for Federal funds paid to the State under this 
     chapter.
       (g) Records.--A recipient of assistance under this chapter 
     shall keep such records as the Secretary shall prescribe, 
     including records that fully disclose--
       (1) the amount and the disposition by the recipient of the 
     proceeds of the assistance;
       (2) the total cost of the project or undertaking in 
     connection with which the assistance is given or used; and
       (3) the amount and nature of that portion of the cost of 
     the project or undertaking supplied by other sources, and 
     such other records as will facilitate an effective audit.
       (h) Access to Records.--The Secretary, and the Comptroller 
     General, or any of their duly authorized representatives, 
     shall have access for the purpose of audit and examination to 
     any records of the recipient that are pertinent to assistance 
     received under this chapter.
       (i) Prohibition of Discrimination.--With respect to 
     property acquired or developed with assistance from the Fund, 
     discrimination on the basis of residence, including 
     preferential reservation or membership systems, is prohibited 
     except to the extent that reasonable differences in admission 
     and other fees may be maintained on the basis of residence.
       (j) Coordination With Federal Agencies.--To ensure 
     consistency in policies and actions under this chapter with 
     other related Federal programs and activities and to ensure 
     coordination of the planning, acquisition, and development 
     assistance to States under this section with other related 
     Federal programs and activities--
       (1) the President may issue such regulations with respect 
     thereto as the President considers desirable; and
       (2) the assistance may be provided only in accordance with 
     the regulations.
       (k) Capital Improvement and Other Projects To Reduce 
     Crime.--
       (1) Availability and purpose of funds.--In addition to 
     assistance for planning projects, and in addition to the 
     projects identified in subsection (e), and from amounts 
     appropriated out of the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund, 
     the Secretary may provide financial assistance to the States, 
     not to exceed $15,000,000, for projects or combinations 
     thereof for the purpose of making capital improvements and 
     other measures to increase safety in urban parks and 
     recreation areas, including funds to--
       (A) increase lighting within or adjacent to public parks 
     and recreation areas;
       (B) provide emergency telephone lines to contact law 
     enforcement or security personnel in areas within or adjacent 
     to public parks and recreation areas;
       (C) increase security personnel within or adjacent to 
     public parks and recreation areas; and
       (D) fund any other project intended to increase the 
     security and safety of public parks and recreation areas.
       (2) Eligibility.--In addition to the requirements for 
     project approval imposed by this section, eligibility for 
     assistance under this subsection shall depend on a showing of 
     need. In providing funds under this subsection, the Secretary 
     shall give priority to projects proposed for urban parks and 
     recreation areas with the highest rates of crime and, in 
     particular, to urban parks and recreation areas with the 
     highest rates of sexual assault.
       (3) Federal share.--Notwithstanding subsection (c), the 
     Secretary may provide 70 percent improvement grants for 
     projects undertaken by a State for the purposes described in 
     this subsection.

     population within the jurisdictional boundaries of the grant 
     recipient.
       (d) Payments.--Payments may be made only for a 
     rehabilitation project or innovation project that has been 
     approved by the Secretary. Payments may be made from time to 
     time in keeping with the rate of progress toward the 
     satisfactory completion of the project, except that the 
     Secretary, when appropriate, may make advance payments on an

     amount not to exceed 20 percent of the total project cost.
       (e) Modification of Project.--The Secretary may authorize 
     modification of an approved project only when a grant 
     recipient adequately demonstrates that the modification is 
     necessary because of circumstances not foreseeable at the 
     time at which the project was proposed.

     Sec. 200504. Recovery action programs

       (a) Evidence of Local Commitment to Ongoing Programs.--As a 
     requirement for project approval, local governments applying 
     for assistance under this chapter shall submit to the 
     Secretary evidence of their commitments to ongoing planning, 
     rehabilitation, service, operation, and maintenance programs 
     for their park and recreation systems. These commitments will 
     be expressed in local park and recreation recovery action 
     programs that maximize coordination of all community 
     resources, including other federally supported urban 
     development and recreation programs. During an initial 
     interim period to be established by regulations under this 
     chapter, this requirement may be satisfied by local 
     government submissions of preliminary action programs that 
     briefly define objectives, priorities, and implementation 
     strategies for overall system recovery and maintenance and 
     commit the applicant to a scheduled program development 
     process. Following this interim period, all local applicants 
     shall submit to the Secretary, as a condition of eligibility, 
     a 5-year action program for park and recreation recovery that 
     satisfactorily demonstrates--
       (1) systematic identification of recovery objectives, 
     priorities, and implementation strategies;
       (2) adequate planning for rehabilitation of specific 
     recreation areas and facilities, including projections of the 
     cost of proposed projects;
       (3) the capacity and commitment to ensure that facilities 
     provided or improved under this chapter shall continue to be 
     adequately maintained, protected, staffed, and supervised;
       (4) the intention to maintain total local public outlays 
     for park and recreation purposes at levels at least equal to 
     those in the year preceding that in which grant assistance is 
     sought except in any case where a reduction in park and 
     recreation outlays is proportionate to a reduction in overall 
     spending by the applicant; and
       (5) the relationship of the park and recreation recovery 
     program to overall community development and urban 
     revitalization efforts.
       (b) Continuing Planning Process.--Where appropriate, the 
     Secretary may encourage local governments to meet action 
     program requirements through a continuing planning process 
     that includes periodic improvements and updates in action 
     program submissions to eliminate identified gaps in program 
     information and policy development.
       (c) Special Considerations.--Action programs shall address,

       (B) multiple use of operating educational and other public 
     buildings, purchase of recreation services on a contractual 
     basis;
       (C) use of mobile facilities and recreational, cultural, 
     and educational programs or other innovative approaches to 
     improving access for neighborhood residents;
       (D) integration of recovery program with federally assisted 
     projects to maximize recreational opportunities through 
     conversion of abandoned railroad and highway rights of way, 
     waterfront, and other redevelopment efforts and such other 
     federally assisted projects as may be appropriate;
       (E) conversion of recreation use of street space, derelict 
     land, and other public land not now designated for 
     neighborhood recreational use; and
       (F) use of various forms of compensated and uncompensated 
     land regulation, tax inducements, or other means to encourage 
     the private sector to provide neighborhood park and 
     recreation facilities and programs.
       (d) Publication in Federal Register.--The Secretary shall 
     establish and publish in the Federal Register requirements

     implementation strategies to achieve this goal. The plan 
     shall also address how the local government is coordinating 
     its recreation programs with crime prevention efforts of law 
     enforcement, juvenile corrections, and youth social service 
     agencies.
       (f) Matching Recovery Action Program Grants.--The Secretary 
     may provide up to 50 percent matching recovery action program

       (a) Additional Match.--The Secretary may increase 
     rehabilitation grants or innovation grants authorized in 
     section 200503 of this title by providing an additional match

     percent of total project costs. The Federal matching amount 
     shall not exceed 85 percent of total project cost.
       (b) Adequate Implementation of Local Recovery Plans.--The 
     Secretary shall encourage States to assist the Secretary in 
     ensuring--
       (1) that local recovery plans and programs are adequately 
     implemented by cooperating with the Secretary in monitoring 
     local park and recreation recovery plans and programs; and
       (2) consistency of the plans and programs, where 
     appropriate, with State recreation policies as set forth in 
     statewide comprehensive outdoor recreation plans.

     Sec. 200506. Non-Federal share of project costs

       (a) Sources.--
       (1) Allowable sources.--The non-Federal share of project

     or special purpose State or local revenues, State categorical 
     grants, special appropriations by State legislatures, 
     donations of land, buildings, or building materials, and in-
     kind construction, technical, and planning services. 
     Reasonable local costs of recovery action program development 
     to meet the requirements of section 200504(a) of this title 
     may be used as part of the local match only when the local 
     government has not received a recovery action program grant.
       (2) Non-allowable sources.--No amount from the Land and 
     Water Conservation Fund or from any other Federal grant 
     program other than the community development block grant 
     programs shall be used to match Federal grants under this 
     program.
       (b) Encouragement of States and Private Interests.--The 
     Secretary shall encourage States and private interests to 
     contribute, to the maximum extent possible, to the non-
     Federal share of project costs.

     Sec. 200507. Conversion of recreation property

       No property improved or developed with assistance under 
     this chapter shall, without the approval of the Secretary, be 
     converted to other than public recreation uses. The Secretary 
     shall approve such a conversion only if the Secretary finds 
     it to be in accord with the then-current local park and 
     recreation recovery action program and only on such 
     conditions as the Secretary considers necessary to ensure the 
     provision of adequate recreation properties and opportunities

     `the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be 
     infringed'.
       ``(2) Section 27.42 of title 50, Code of Federal 
     Regulations, provides that, except in special circumstances, 
     citizens of the United States may not `possess, use, or 
     transport firearms on national wildlife refuges' of the 
     United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
       ``(3) The regulations described in paragraph (2) prevent 
     individuals complying with Federal and State laws from 
     exercising the 2d amendment rights of the individuals while 
     at units of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
       ``(4) The existence of different laws relating to the 
     transportation and possession of firearms at different units 
     of the National Wildlife Refuge System entrapped law-abiding 
     gun owners while at units of the National Wildlife Refuge 
     System.
       ``(5) Although the Bush administration issued new 
     regulations relating to the 2d amendment rights of law-
     abiding citizens in units of the National Wildlife Refuge 
     System that went into effect on January 9, 2009--
       ``(A) on March 19, 2009, the United States District Court 
     for the District of Columbia granted a preliminary injunction 
     with respect to the implementation and enforcement of the new 
     regulations; and
       ``(B) the new regulations--
       ``(i) are under review by the Obama administration; and
       ``(ii) may be altered.
       ``(6) Congress needs to weigh in on the new regulations to 
     ensure that unelected bureaucrats and judges cannot again 
     override the 2d amendment rights of law-abiding citizens on 
     90,790,000 acres of land under the jurisdiction of the United 
     States Fish and Wildlife Service.
       ``(7) Federal laws should make it clear that the 2d 
     amendment rights of an individual at a unit of the National 
     Wildlife Refuge System should not be infringed.
       ``(b) Protection of Right of Individuals To Bear arms in 
     Units of the National Wildlife Refuge System.--The Secretary 
     shall not promulgate or enforce any regulation that prohibits 
     an individual from possessing a firearm, including an 
     assembled or functional firearm, in any unit of the National 
     Wildlife Refuge System if--
       ``(1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law

     may be, the corresponding title 54 provision. If a law 
     enacted after that date is otherwise inconsistent with a 
     title 54 provision or a provision of this Act, that law 
     supersedes the title 54 provision or provision of this Act to 
     the extent of the inconsistency.
       (c) Original Date of Enactment Unchanged.--For purposes of 
     determining whether one provision of law supersedes another 
     based on enactment later in time, a title 54 provision is 
     deemed to have been enacted on the date of enactment of the 
     source provision that the title 54 provision replaces.
       (d) References to Title 54 Provisions.--A reference to a 
     title 54 provision is deemed to refer to the corresponding 
     source provision.
       (e) References to Source Provisions.--A reference to a 
     source provision, including a reference in a regulation, 
     order, or other law, is deemed to refer to the corresponding 
     title 54 provision.

     Actions.--A regulation, order, or other administrative action 
     in effect under a source provision continues in effect under 
     the corresponding title 54 provision.
       (g) Actions Taken and Offenses Committed.--An action taken 
     or an offense committed under a source provision is deemed to 
     have been taken or committed under the corresponding title 54 
     provision.

                             General Leave

  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all 
Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend 
their remarks and include extraneous materials on H.R. 1950, as 
amended, currently under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, the rules of the House entrust to the Judiciary 
Committee the responsibilities of revision and codification of the 
statutes of the United States. This power does not give our committee 
substantive legislative jurisdiction over all areas of law; it merely 
confers the authority to organize duly enacted laws into an efficient 
codification system.
  The nonpartisan Office of the Law Revision Counsel is responsible for 
properly codifying public laws into titles and sections of the United 
States Code. From time to time, that office provides the Judiciary 
Committee advice as to how to enact a more user-friendly and cohesive 
statutory system.
  This spring, Republican and Democratic committee staff worked 
cooperatively with the Office of the Law Revision Counsel to develop 
H.R. 1950. The bill creates a new title of positive law--title 54--to 
compile all of the laws that relate to the National Park System.
  Codification bills do not make any substantive changes to existing 
law. Before the Judiciary Committee marked up H.R. 1950, industries, 
government, and interested parties commented on the draft. Based on 
their comments, I offered a manager's amendment in committee to further 
ensure this bill makes no changes to substantive law.
  I encourage my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I rise in support of H.R. 1950. Dating back to the mid-19th century, 
numerous laws have been enacted pertaining to the organization and 
management of the National Park System by the National Park Service.
  The Service is also responsible for carrying out the Historic Sites, 
Buildings, and Antiquities Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, 
and other laws relating to the protection and preservation of sites 
that illustrate America's history.
  Over the ensuing years, laws specifying the Service's 
responsibilities have been codified in various sections of title 16 of 
the United States Code. And as laws relating to the National Park 
Service were amended and new laws were added to the Code, 
classifications have become more cumbersome to use.

                              {time}  1940

  H.R. 1950 simply gathers all of these provisions pertaining to the 
National Park Service and restates them in a new positive law title of 
the United States Code. The new title 54 of the Code replaces and 
repeals these provisions of the former law.
  All changes in existing law made by H.R. 1950 are purely technical, 
and they reflect the understood policy, intent, and purpose of Congress 
in the original enactments. These changes include corrections to remove 
ambiguities, contradictions, and other imperfections.
  We should note that this measure was drafted by the Office of the Law 
Revision Counsel as part of that office's ongoing statutory 
responsibility to ``prepare a complete compilation, restatement, and 
revision of the general and permanent laws of the United States.''
  I commend the Office of the Law Revision Counsel for its good work on 
H.R. 1950 and for its many valuable contributions to our legislative 
process.
  Mr. Speaker, accordingly, I urge my colleagues to support the 
measure.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith) that the House suspend the rules and 
pass the bill, H.R. 1950, as amended.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the 
ground that a quorum is not present and make the point of order that a 
quorum is not present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further 
proceedings on this question will be postponed.
  The point of no quorum is considered withdrawn.
