Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''National Park Enhancement and
Revitalization Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) The National Park Service has insufficient funds for
the operations, maintenance, and rehabilitation of certain
units of the National Park System.
(2) Federal full fee land ownership is not always required
to preserve the aesthetic, natural, cultural, and historical
values of National Park System lands, and at times may even
prevent desirable preservation.
(3) The sale or lease or any extension thereof of lands or
interests therein within units of the National Park System
could generate needed funds while preserving the values for
which the units were established.

SEC. 3. PERMITTING PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OR USE OF NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM
LANDS.

The Act of August 25, 1916 (popularly known as the National Park
Service Organic Act; 16 U.S.C. 1241 et seq.), is amended by adding at
the end the following new section:
''Sec. 5. (a) Disposal of Property and Interests.--(1) The
Secretary of the Interior, after determining it to be in the public
interest and after publication of notice in the Federal Register and 30
days for public comment--
''(A) may dispose of lands, or interests therein (but not
the mineral estate), within the National Battlefields, National
Historical Parks, and other National Park System units which
preserve American history; and
''(B) may accept as consideration for the disposal other
lands, interests in lands, cash payment, or any combination
thereof which is equal in value to the lands or interests being
disposed of.
''(2) To protect the aesthetic, recreational, cultural, or historic
values of the unit of the National Park System, the Secretary shall
include in such disposals any terms, covenants, conditions, or
reservations deemed necessary to ensure preservation of the public
interest and uses consistent with the purposes for which the area was
designated and to attempt to stimulate the land use patterns existing
at the relevant historic period.
''(3) In disposing of lands or interests under this subsection, the
Secretary shall, to the extent practicable, provide the person or
persons, or their heirs, as determined from the deed and land records,
from whom the land or interest was acquired by the United States an
opportunity to reacquire the land or interest. The Secretary shall
publish a notice in an appropriate regional or local newspaper in an
attempt to locate such persons.
''(4) Each disposal in excess of $150,000 shall be reported to the
Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate at least 30
days prior to consummation of the disposal.
''(5) The person or persons acquiring lands or interests therein
under this subsection shall bear all reasonable costs of survey and
appraisal incidental to such conveyance, as determined by the
Secretary.
''(b) Lease.--(1) The Secretary of the Interior, after determining
it to be in the public interest and after publication of notice in the
Federal Register and 30 days for public comment, may lease lands or
extend existing leases within the National Battlefields, National
Historical Parks, and other National Park System units which preserve
American history for private uses that promote, and are consistent
with, the purposes for which the area was designated and that attempt
to stimulate the land use patterns existing at the relevant historic
period.
''(2) To the extent practicable, the Secretary shall provide the
person or persons, or their heirs, as determined from the deed and land
records, from whom the land or interest was acquired by the United
States an opportunity to lease the land for acceptable uses. The
Secretary shall publish a notice in an appropriate regional or local
newspaper in an attempt to locate such persons.
''(3) Such leases may be negotiated noncompetitively. If the
original owner or heirs cannot be identified or are not interested,
leases shall be offered competitively. In either case, leases must
specify acceptable uses and terms and must at least recover the costs
of establishing and administering the lease.
''(c) Use of Revenues.--Amounts received by the United States as
proceeds from the sale or lease of lands or interests therein under
this section, in excess of administrative costs, shall be deposited in
a special fund in the Treasury and shall be available to the Secretary
of the Interior, without further appropriation, for operation,
maintenance, or improvement of, or for acquisition of lands or
interests therein for, the unit which generated the proceeds.
''(d) Acquiring Less Than Fee Title.--The Secretary of the
Interior, after determining it to be in the public interest and in
compliance with other acquisition requirements, may acquire easements
or other interests in lands for inclusion in the National Park System,
if--
''(1) the easement or interest provides public benefits
greater than the cost of the easement or interest, and
''(2) the cost of the easement or interest is less than a
fee simple purchase of the land, including the costs for
periodic monitoring and enforcement to ensure compliance with
such agreements.''.

SEC. 4. STUDY.

The Government Accounting Office (GAO) of the United States shall
undertake a study of easements and other less-than-fee title
acquisitions of interests in lands for the National Park System to
assess their effectiveness, including total costs and compliance with
agreements, and their efficiency for producing public benefits.
