Sec. 346e. Authorization for park facilities to be located
outside boundaries of Zion National Park
In order to facilitate the administration of Zion National Park, the
Secretary of the Interior is authorized, under such terms and conditions
as he may deem advisable, to expend donated or appropriated funds for
the establishment of essential facilities for park administration and
visitor use outside the boundaries, but within the vicinity, of the
park. Such facilities and the use thereof shall be in conformity with
approved plans for the park. The Secretary shall use existing facilities
wherever feasible. Such facilities may only be constructed by the
Secretary upon a finding that the location of such facilities would--
(1) avoid undue degradation of natural or cultural resources
within the park;
(2) enhance service to the public; or
(3) provide a cost saving to the Federal Government.
The Secretary is authorized to enter into cooperative agreements with
State or local governments or private entities to undertake the
authority granted under this section. The Secretary is encouraged to
identify and utilize funding sources to supplement any Federal funding
used for these facilities.
