Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
TITLE I—STEAMTOWN NATIONAL
HISTORIC SITE
SEC. 101. ESTABLISHMENT.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—In order to preserve and in-
terpret certain elements of railroading, especially steam-
operated railroads during the period of 1850 to 1950,
there is hereby established the Steamtown National His-
toric Site (hereinafter in this title referred to as the ‘‘his-
toric site’’). The purposes of the historic site shall include
interpretation of the evolution of railroads and their im-
pact on the development of this nation, including techno-
logical, economic, social, and political effects and the rela-
tionship of railroads to industrialization.
(b) BOUNDARIES.—The historic site shall consist of
the lands and interests in lands within the area generally
depicted on the map entitled ‘‘Boundary Map, Steamtown
National Historic Site’’, numbered STTO-80,000B, and
dated June, 1994. The map shall be on file and available
for public inspection in the offices of the National Park
Service, Department of the Interior. No revisions may be
made in the boundary of the historic site, except by Act
of Congress.
(c) REPEAL.—Sections 1 through 5 of the Steamtown
National Historic Site Act of 1986 (Public Law 99–591;
100 Stat. 3341–248–249) are hereby repealed.
SEC. 102. ADMINISTRATION.
The Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter in this title
referred to as the ‘‘Secretary’’) shall administer the his-
toric site in accordance with this title and with the provi-
sions of law generally applicable to units of the national
park system, including the Act entitled ‘‘An Act to estab-
lish a National Park Service, and for other purposes’’, ap-
proved August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535; 16 U.S.C. 1, 2,
3, and 4). On or before September 30, 1995, the Secretary
shall prepare and submit to the Committee on Natural Re-
sources of the United States House of Representatives and
to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of
the United States Senate a new comprehensive general
management plan for the historic site. The plan shall be
prepared with the assistance of nationally recognized ex-
perts in railroad management and history and shall be
consistent with this title, with section 12 of the Act of
August 18, 1970 (16 U.S.C. 1a–1 through 1a–7) and with
other applicable provisions of law. The Secretary shall pro-
vide for public participation and comment in the develop-
ment of the plan.
SEC. 103. ACQUISITION OF LAND.
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary may acquire lands
or interests in land within the boundaries of the historic
site only by donation or by purchase with donated funds.
(b) CONTAMINATED LANDS.—The Secretary may not
acquire any lands or interests in lands for purposes of the
historic site unless such lands are not contaminated with
a hazardous substance or a pollutant or contaminant
which will require removal or remedial action at the ex-
pense of the United States. The Secretary shall take such
steps as are necessary to obtain cost recovery under the
Comprehensive Environmental Compensation, Response,
and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund) for any funds of
the National Park Service expended, prior to the date of
the enactment of this Act, on removal or remedial action
with respect to any contamination of lands within the
boundaries of historic site. Any such reimbursement shall
be credited to miscellaneous receipts in the Treasury.

tions as necessary and appropriate to administer the his-
toric site, to maintain and preserve the facilities at the
historic site, to interpret the resources of the site and their
history to the public, and to provide essential services to
the public at the historic site.
(b) RAILROAD EQUIPMENT.—(1) The Secretary shall
preserve the collection of railroad equipment, including lo-
comotives and rolling stock, which is present at the his-
toric site as of the date of enactment of this Act. The
Secretary may also preserve such equipment and essential
machinery as is necessary for the maintenance of the loco-
motives and rolling stock. The Secretary may not purchase
any additional locomotive for operation at the historic site
if such purchase would result in the operation by the
United States at the historic site of more locomotives than
the number of locomotives operating at the site as of June
22, 1994.
(2) No Federal funds may be expended to provide ac-
cess between the historic site and any structure that is
privately owned and operated for profit. The Secretary
may exchange or purchase appropriate examples of loco-
motives and rolling stock to enhance the site’s collection
if the total number of such equipment does not increase
and if all such actions are consistent with the general
management plan for the historic site.
(3) The Secretary shall dispose of all locomotives and
rolling stock that are not needed for exchange under para-
graph (2), that do not meet the criteria of the National
Register of Historic Places, and that are not necessary

gress no later than February 31, February 28, 1995 con-

and bridges permitting the National Park Service to use

this section. The Secretary may pay customary and appro-
priate track usage fees and may also provide additional
special excursions if no such excursion is longer than 60
miles one way.
(e) USER AND INTERPRETIVE FEES.—(1) User or in-
terpretive fees charged for the rail excursion from the his-
toric site to Moscow, Pennsylvania, or to any other loca-

of 100 percent of the costs of maintenance, personnel,
equipment, and fees imposed on the Secretary for the ex-
cursion shall be recovered by the Secretary.
(2)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the Secretary is authorized to impose a fee on any person

organized school group or outing conducted for edu-
cational purposes by a school or other bona fide edu-
cational institution.
(B) The proceeds of any fee imposed under this sec-
tion shall be credited to a special account established for
the National Park Service in the Treasury of the United
States and shall be available, without further appropria-
tion, for use by the Secretary of the Interior to further
educational and interpretive programs at the site, includ-
ing the cooperative agreement specified in subsection

cial assistance for any such project shall be limited to a
portion of the total costs of the project. The portion paid
by the Secretary shall not exceed that fraction of the total
costs of the project which is equal to the fraction of the

by equipment associated with the historic site. Nothing in
this Act or in any other provision of law shall authorize
the Secretary to acquire either of such bridges or the asso-
ciated tracks and switches.
(g) COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS.—(1) The Secretary
may enter into cooperative agreements with appropriate
authorities for law enforcement and for purposes of con-
trolling rail traffic through the historic site, but the Sec-

gress not later than 2 years after the enactment of this
Act.
