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

        Resources of the Senate a list of areas recommended for study 
        for potential inclusion in the System.
          (2) Factors to be considered.--In developing the list to be 
        submitted under this subsection, the Secretary shall consider--

                suitability, and feasibility;
                  (B) themes, sites, and resources not already 
                adequately represented in the System; and
                  (C) public petitions and Congressional resolutions.
          (3) Accompanying synopsis.--Accompanying the annual listing

        expenditure of less than $25,000.
          (6) Study of rivers or trails not affected.--This section 
        does not apply to or affect or alter the study of--
                  (A) any river segment for potential addition to the 
                national wild and scenic rivers system; or
                  (B) any trail for potential addition to the national

        on which funds are first made available for that purpose.
          (2) Opportunity for public involvement required.--Each study 
        under this section shall be prepared with appropriate 
        opportunity for public involvement, including at least one 
        public meeting in the vicinity of the area under study, and 
        after reasonable efforts to notify potentially affected 
        landowners and State and local governments.
          (3) Considerations.--In conducting the study, the Secretary 
        shall consider whether the area under study--
                  (A) possesses nationally significant natural or 
                cultural resources and represents one of the most 
                important examples of a particular resource type in the 
                country; and
                  (B) is a suitable and feasible addition to the 
                System.
          (4) Scope of study.--Each study--
                  (A) with regard to the area being studied, shall 
                consider--
                          (i) the rarity and integrity of the 
                        resources;
                          (ii) the threats to those resources;
                          (iii) whether similar resources are already 
                        protected in the System or in other public or 
                        private ownership;
                          (iv) the public use potential;
                          (v) the interpretive and educational 
                        potential;
                          (vi) costs associated with acquisition, 
                        development, and operation;

          (1) the requirement for the seasonal field employee quarters 
        is temporary; or
          (2) leasing would be more cost-effective than construction of 
        new seasonal field employee quarters.

    Subchapter III--Public Transportation Programs for System Units

Sec. 1015.21. Findings and purpose
  (a) 1978 Findings.--Congress finds that--
          (1) the purpose of the System is to preserve outstanding 
        natural, scenic, historic, and recreation areas for the 
        enjoyment, education, inspiration, and use of all people;
          (2) System units have been established near major 
        metropolitan areas to preserve remaining open space and to 
        provide recreational opportunities for urban residents (many of 
        whom do not have access to personal motor vehicles); and
          (3) circumstances that necessarily require people desiring to 
        visit System units to rely on personal motor vehicles may 
        diminish the natural and recreational value of the System units 
        by causing traffic congestion and environmental damage, and by 
        requiring the provision of roads, parking, and other facilities 
        in ever-increasing numbers and density.
  (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subchapter is to make the System 
more accessible in a manner consistent with the preservation of System 
units and the conservation of energy by encouraging the use of 
transportation modes other than personal motor vehicles for access to 
and within System units with minimum disruption to nearby communities 
through authorization of a pilot transportation program.
Sec. 1015.22. Transportation service and facility programs
  (a) Formulation of Plans and Implementation of Projects.--The 
Secretary may formulate transportation plans and implement 
transportation projects where feasible pursuant to those plans for

                equipment, or facilities to improve access to System 
                units;
                  (B) operate those services directly in the absence of 
                suitable and adequate agencies or carriers;
                  (C) acquire, by purchase, lease, or agreement, 
                capital equipment for those services; and
                  (D) where necessary to carry out this subchapter, 
                acquire, by lease, purchase, donation, exchange, or 
                transfer, land, water, or an interest in land or water 
                that is situated outside the boundary of a System unit.
          (2) Specific provisions related to property acquisition.--
                  (A) Administration.--The acquired property shall be 
                administered as part of the System unit.
                  (B) Acquistion of land or interests in land owned by 
                state or political subdivision.--Any land or interests

                subdivisions may be acquired only by donation.
                  (C) Acquisition subject to statutory limitations.--
                Any land acquisition shall be subject to any statutory 
                limitations on methods of acquisition and 
                appropriations as may be specifically applicable to the 
                area.
  (c) Appropriation of Fees Collected and Deposited in Planning, 
Development, and Operation of Recreational Facilities Appropriation 
Account.--All fees directly collected by the Service in the operation 
of the facilities and services authorized by this subchapter shall be 
deposited into the Planning, Development, and Operation of Recreation 
Facilities appropriation account to be subject to appropriation.

  (a) Findings.--In furtherance of section 1003.01(b), 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

        the Secretary through a competitive selection process. The 
        competitive process shall include simplified procedures for 
        small, individually-owned concession contractors.
          (2) Solicitation of proposals.--Except as otherwise provided 
        in this section, prior to awarding a new concession contract

                        electronic means, or both, as appropriate; and
                          (ii) make the prospectus available on request 
                        to all interested persons.

                selection factor identified in the prospectus and the 
                relative importance of those factors in the selection

                available to the Secretary, as the Secretary determines

                proposals.
                  (H) Where applicable, a description of a preferential 
                right to the renewal of the proposed concession

          (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:
                          (i) The minimum acceptable franchise fee or 
                        other forms of 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.

                categories of concession contracts described by 
                paragraph (8), subject to the requirements of that

                        accompany System unit visitors in the

                                  (I) the contract with the outfitting 
                                and guide concessioner does not grant

                                to the terms of a concession contract

                                the Secretary pursuant to paragraph

                than $500,000.--A concessioner that holds a concession 
                contract that the Secretary estimates will result in 
                gross annual receipts of less than $500,000 if renewed 
                shall be entitled to a preferential right of renewal

                          (ii) the concessioner has submitted a 
                        responsive proposal for a proposed new

        policies expressed in this subchapter.
          (11) Exceptions.--Notwithstanding this section, the Secretary 
        may award, without public solicitation, the following:
                  (A) Temporary contract.--To avoid interruption of 
                services to the public at a System unit, the Secretary

                extension of an existing concessions contract for a 
                term not to exceed 3 year, except that prior to making 
                the award, the Secretary shall take all reasonable and 
                appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid the

                Secretary may award a concession contract in 
                extraordinary circumstances where compelling and

                concession contract to a particular party in the public 
                interest. Award of a concession contract under this 
                subparagraph shall not be made by the Secretary until

                          (i) publication in the Federal Register of 
                        notice of the Secretary's intention to award 
                        the contract and the reasons for the action; 
                        and
                          (ii) submission of notice to the Committee on 
                        Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and

                        of Representatives.
Sec. 1019.14. Term of concession contracts
  A concession contract entered into pursuant to this 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. 1019.15. Protection of concessioner investment

        means a structure, a fixture, or nonremovable equipment

        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, transfer, relinquishment, and waiver of interest; 
        interest not to be extinguished; when interest may be taken for 
        public use.--A leasehold surrender interest--
                  (A) 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;
                  (B) shall be transferred by the concessioner in 
                connection with any transfer of the concession contract 
                and may be relinquished or waived by the concessioner; 
                and
                  (C) 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.
          (3) 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.
          (4) 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 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 (3), 
                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 (3).
          (5) 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 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.
  (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. 1019.16. Reasonableness of rates and charges
  (a) In General.--Each 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. 1019.17. 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. 1019.18. 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).

                  (E) shall establish other conditions for issuance of 
                a commercial use authorization that the Secretary

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

Sec. 1039.04. Protecting the right of individuals to bear arms
  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Second 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 Second 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 Second 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 Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens on 
        83,600,000 acres of System land.
          (7) Federal laws should make it clear that the Second 
        amendment rights of an individual at a System unit should not 
        be infringed.
  (b) Protecting the 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. 1039.05. 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 Congress.
Sec. 1039.06. Donations of land near or adjacent to national forest in 
                    North Carolina for System unit purposes
  The Secretary may accept for System unit purposes any land and right-
of-way, including the Grandfather Mountain, near or adjacent to the

State purposes. Payments may be made to the States by the Secretary as 
provided in this section, subject to such terms and conditions as the 
Secretary considers appropriate and in the public interest to carry out 
the purposes of this chapter, for outdoor recreation:
          (1) Planning.
          (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 first $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 a consideration of---
                  (A) the proportion that the population of each State 
                bears to the total population of the United States;
                  (B) of the use of outdoor recreation resources of 
                individual States by persons from outside the State; 
                and
                  (C) the Federal resources and programs in the 
                particular States.
          (3) The total allocation to an individual State under 
        paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not exceed 10 percent of the total 
        amount allocated to 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, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American 
        Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands shall be deemed to be 
        one State, and shall receive shares of the apportionment 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 
        officer 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 officer. 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 upon 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.--
          (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 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 facilities normally used for 
        outdoor recreation activities, but the Secretary may permit 
        local funding, and not to exceed 10 percent of the total amount 
        allocated to a State in any one year, to be used for sheltered 
        facilities for swimming pools and ice skating rinks in areas 
        where the Secretary determines that the severity of climatic 
        conditions and the increased public use thereby made possible 
        justifies the construction of the facilities.
  (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 officer of the 
        State or to a State official or agency designated by the chief 
        executive officer 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.
  (g) 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.
  (h) Reports and Accounting Procedures.--No payment shall be made to 
any State until the State has agreed to--
          (1) 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
          (2) 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.
  (i) 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.
  (j) 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.
  (k) 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.
  (l) 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.
  (m) 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

                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.
Sec. 1053.09. Allocation of Fund amounts for Federal purposes

                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

Sec. 1055.01. Findings
  Congress finds that--
          (1) the quality of life in urban areas is closely related to 
        the availability of fully functional park and recreation 
        systems including land, facilities, and service programs;
          (2) residents of cities need close-to-home recreational 
        opportunities that are adequate to specialized urban demands, 
        with parks and facilities properly located, developed, and well 
        maintained;
          (3) the greatest recreational deficiencies with respect to 
        land, facilities, and programs are found in many large cities, 
        especially at the neighborhood level;
          (4) inadequate financing of urban recreation programs due to 
        fiscal difficulties in many large cities has led to the 
        deterioration of facilities, nonavailability of recreation 
        services, and an inability to adapt recreational programs to 
        changing circumstances; and
          (5) there is no existing Federal assistance program which 
        fully addresses the needs for physical rehabilitation and 
        revitalization of these park and recreation systems.
Sec. 1055.02. Purposes
  (a) Establish Program.--The purpose of this chapter is to authorize 
the Secretary to establish an urban park and recreation recovery 
program which would provide Federal grants to economically hard-pressed 
communities specifically for the rehabilitation of critically needed 
recreation areas, facilities, and development of improved recreation 
programs. This program is intended to complement existing Federal 
programs such as the Land and Water Conservation Fund and Community 
Development Grant Programs by encouraging and stimulating local 
governments to revitalize their park and recreation systems and to make 
long-term commitments to continuing maintenance of these systems. Such 
assistance shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the 
Secretary considers appropriate and in the public interest to carry out 
the purposes of this chapter.
  (b) Improve Recreation Facilities and Expand Recreation Services.--It 
is further the purpose of this chapter to improve recreation facilities 
and expand recreation services in urban areas with a high incidence of 
crime and to help deter crime through the expansion of recreation 
opportunities for at-risk youth.
  (c) Increase Security.--It is the further purpose of this chapter to 
increase the security of urban parks and to promote collaboration 
between local agencies involved in parks and recreation, law 
enforcement, youth social services, and juvenile justice system.

                serve as models for other communities.
  (c) Limitation of Funds.--Grants to discretionary applicants under 
subsection (a) may not be more than 15 percent of the total amount of 
funds appropriated under this chapter for rehabilitation, innovation, 
and recovery action program grants.
Sec. 1055.05. Rehabilitation and innovation grants
  (a) Matching Grants.--The Secretary may provide 70 percent matching 
rehabilitation and innovative grants directly to eligible general 
purpose local governments on the Secretary's approval of applications 
for those grants by the chief executives of those governments.
  (b) Special Considerations.--Innovation grants should be closely tied 
to goals, priorities, and implementation strategies expressed in local 
park and recreation recovery action programs, with particular regard to 
the special considerations listed in section 1055.06(c)(2) of this 
title.
  (c) Transfer.--At the discretion of the applicants, and if consistent 
with an approved application, rehabilitation and innovation grants may 
be transferred in whole or in part to independent special purpose local 
governments, private nonprofit agencies or county or regional park 
authorities provided that assisted recreation areas and facilities 
owned or managed by the transferree offer recreation opportunities to 
the general population within the jurisdictional boundaries of an 
eligible applicant.
  (d) Payments.--Payments may be made only for rehabilitation or 
innovative projects that have 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 a project, except that the 
Secretary, when appropriate, may make advance payments on approved 
rehabilitation and innovative projects in 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 grantee has adequately 
demonstrated that the modification is necessary because of 
circumstances not foreseeable at the time a project was proposed.
Sec. 1055.06. 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, but are 
not limited to--

such conditions as the Secretary considers necessary to ensure the 
provision of adequate recreation properties and opportunities of 
reasonably equivalent location and usefulness.

        or maintain any particular historic or archaeologic site, 
        building, or property donated to the United States through the 
        Service, the Secretary may cause the restoration,

        District of Columbia or any State.

                   Subdivision 1--General Provisions

            CHAPTER 2011--FINDINGS, POLICY, AND DEFINITIONS

Sec.
2011.01.  Findings.
2011.02.  Declaration of policy.
2011.03.  Definitions.
Sec. 2011.01. Findings
  Congress finds that--
          (1) the spirit and direction of the Nation are founded on and 
        reflected in its historic heritage;
          (2) the historical and cultural foundations of the Nation 
        should be preserved as a living part of our community life and 
        development in order to give a sense of orientation to the 
        American people;
          (3) historic properties significant to the Nation's heritage 
        are being lost or substantially altered, often inadvertently, 
        with increasing frequency;
          (4) the preservation of this irreplaceable heritage is in the 
        public interest so that its vital legacy of cultural, 
        educational, aesthetic, inspirational, economic, and energy 
        benefits will be maintained and enriched for future generations 
        of Americans;
          (5) in the face of ever-increasing extensions of urban 
        centers, highways, and residential, commercial, and industrial 
        developments, the governmental and nongovernmental historic 
        preservation programs and activities as of December 12, 1980, 
        were inadequate to ensure future generations a genuine 
        opportunity to appreciate and enjoy the rich heritage of our 
        Nation;
          (6) the increased knowledge of our historic properties, the 
        establishment of better means of identifying and administering 
        them, and the encouragement of their preservation will improve 
        the planning and execution of Federal and federally assisted 
        projects and will assist economic growth and development; and
          (7) although the major burdens of historic preservation have 
        been borne and major efforts initiated by private agencies and 
        individuals, and both should continue to play a vital role, it 
        is nevertheless necessary and appropriate for the Federal 
        Government to accelerate its historic preservation programs and 
        activities, to give maximum encouragement to agencies and 
        individuals undertaking preservation by private means, and to 
        assist State and local governments and the National Trust to 
        expand and accelerate their historic preservation programs and 
        activities.
Sec. 2011.02. Declaration of policy
  It is the policy of the Federal Government, in cooperation with other 
nations and in partnership with States, local governments, Indian 
tribes, Native Hawaiians, and private organizations and individuals, 
to--
          (1) use measures, including financial and technical 
        assistance, to foster conditions under which our modern society 
        and our historic properties can exist in productive harmony and 
        fulfill the social, economic, and other requirements of present 
        and future generations;
          (2) provide leadership in the preservation of the historic 
        properties of the United States and of the international 
        community of nations and in the administration of the national 
        preservation program;
          (3) administer federally owned, administered, or controlled 
        historic properties in a spirit of stewardship for the 
        inspiration and benefit of present and future generations;
          (4) contribute to the preservation of nonfederally owned 
        historic properties and give maximum encouragement to 
        organizations and individuals undertaking preservation by 
        private means;
          (5) encourage the public and private preservation and 
        utilization of all usable elements of the Nation's historic 
        built environment; and
          (6) assist State and local governments, Indian tribes and 
        Native Hawaiian organizations, and the National Trust to expand 
        and accelerate their historic preservation programs and 
        activities.

be used for any project or activity are conditioned on the use of non-
Federal funds by the recipient for payment of any portion of the costs 
of the project or activity.

SEC. 6. TRANSITIONAL AND SAVINGS PROVISIONS.

  (a) Definitions.--In this section:
          (1) Source provision.--The term ``source provision'' means a 
        provision of law that is replaced by a title 54 provision.
          (2) Title 54 provision.--The term ``title 54 provision'' 
        means a provision of title 54, United States Code, that is 
        enacted by section 3.
  (b) Cutoff Date.--The title 54 provisions replace certain provisions 
of law enacted on or before January 5, 2011. If a law enacted after 
that date amends or repeals a source provision, that law is deemed to 
amend or repeal, as the case 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.
  (f) Regulations, Orders, and Other Administrative 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.
