jazz music and its history, there is hereby established the New Orleans
Jazz National Historical Park (hereinafter referred to as the

Secretary is directed to complete a national historic landmark
evaluation of sites associated with jazz in and around New Orleans
as identified in the document entitled ``New Orleans Jazz Special
Resource Study'', prepared by the National Park Service pursuant to
Public Law 101-499. In undertaking the evaluation, the Secretary
shall, to the extent practicable, utilize existing information

standards of the National Historic Landmark program and National
Park Service tests of suitability and feasibility, and offer
outstanding opportunities to further the purposes of this
subchapter, the Secretary may designate such sites as part of the
historical park, following consultation with the owners of such
sites, the city of New Orleans, the Smithsonian Institution, and the
New Orleans Jazz Commission, and notification to the Committee on
