CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
SUBCHAPTER XXXII--NEZ PERCE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK
Sec. 281c. Inclusion of lands
(a) Indian trust land; Federal-ownership sites; cooperation with Nez
Perce Tribe and administrative agencies in research, services,
and facilities for public access, use and enjoyment, and
conservation of resources
Indian trust land may be designated by the Secretary of the Interior
for inclusion in the Nez Perce National Historical Park with the
concurrence of the beneficial owner. Sites in Federal ownership under
the administrative jurisdiction of other Government agencies may
likewise be designated by the Secretary of the Interior for inclusion in
the Nez Perce National Historical Park with the concurrence of the
agency having administrative responsibility therefor, but such
designation shall effect no transfer of administrative control unless
the administering agency consents thereto. The Secretary of the Interior
may cooperate with the Nez Perce Tribe or the administering agency, as
the case may be, in research into and interpretation of the significance
of any site so designated and in providing desirable interpretive
services and facilities and other facilities required for public access
to and use and enjoyment of the site and in conservation of the scenic
and other resources thereof.
(b) Cooperative agreements with property owners of non-Federal property;
access; written consent for changes in properties, buildings,
and grounds; other provisions
The Secretary of the Interior may enter into cooperative agreements
with the owners of property which, under the provisions of this
subchapter, may be designated for inclusion in Nez Perce National
Historical Park as sites in non-Federal ownership, and he may assist in
the preservation, renewal, and interpretation of the properties,
provided the cooperative agreements shall contain, but not be limited
to, provisions that: (1) the Secretary has right of access at all
reasonable times to all public portions of the property for the purpose
of conducting visitors through the property and interpreting it to the
public, and (2) no changes or alterations shall be made in the
properties, including buildings and grounds, without the written consent
of the Secretary.
