A BILL
To modify the boundaries of Walnut Canyon National
Monument in the State of Arizona.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Walnut Canyon
National Monument Boundary Modification Act of 1995’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that:
(1) Walnut Canyon National Monument was es-
tablished for the preservation and interpretation of
certain settlements and land use patterns associated
with the prehistoric Sinaguan culture of northern
Arizona.
(2) Major cultural resources associated with the
purposes of Walnut Canyon National Monument are
near the boundary and are currently managed under
multiple-use objectives of the adjacent national forest.
These concentrations of cultural resources, often re-
ferred to as ‘‘forts’’, would be more effectively man-
aged as part of the National Park System.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to modify
the boundaries of the Walnut Canyon National Monument
(hereafter in this Act referred to as the ‘‘national monu-
ment’’) to improve management of the national monument
and associated resources.
SEC. 3. BOUNDARY MODIFICATION.
Effective on the date of enactment of this Act, the
boundaries of the national monument shall be modified as
depicted on the map entitled ‘‘Boundary Proposal—Walnut
Canyon National Monument, Coconino County, Arizona’’,
numbered 360/80,010, and dated September 1994. Such
map shall be on file and available for public inspection in
the offices of the Director of the National Park Service, De-
partment of the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior, in
consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, is authorized
to make technical and clerical corrections to such map.
SEC. 4. ACQUISITION AND TRANSFER OF PROPERTY.
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to acquire
lands and interest in lands within the national monument,
by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds,
or exchange. Federal property within the boundaries of the
national monument (as modified by this Act) is hereby
transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of the Sec-
retary of the Interior for management as part of the na-
tional monument. Federal property excluded from the
monument pursuant to the boundary modification under
section 3 is hereby transferred to the administrative juris-
diction of the Secretary of Agriculture to be managed as
a part of the Coconino National Forest.
SEC. 5. ADMINISTRATION.
The Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Direc-
tor of the National Park Service, shall manage the national
monument in accordance with this Act and the provisions
of law generally applicable to units of the National Park
Service, including ‘‘An Act to establish a National Park
Service, and for other purposes’’ approved August 25, 1916
(39 Stat. 535; 16 U.S.C. 1, 2–4).
SEC. 6. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
There is hereby authorized to be appropriated such
sums as may be necessary to carry out this Act.
