Sec. 423l-5. Park administration
(a) Applicable laws
The Secretary, acting through the Director of the National Park
Service, shall administer the battlefield park in accordance with
sections 423l-1 to 423l-6 of this title and laws generally applicable to
units of the National Park System, including sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of
this title and sections 461 to 467 of this title.
(b) New Market Heights Battlefield
The Secretary shall provide for the establishment of a monument or
memorial suitable to honor the 14 Medal of Honor recipients from the
United States Colored Troops who fought in the Battle of New Market
Heights. The Secretary shall include the Battle of New Market Heights
and the role of black Union soldiers in the battle in historical
interpretations provided to the public at the battlefield park.
(c) Cooperative agreements
The Secretary may enter into cooperative agreements with the
Commonwealth of Virginia, its political subdivisions (including the City
of Richmond), private property owners, and other members of the private
sector to develop mechanisms to protect and interpret the historical
resources within the battlefield park in a manner that would allow for
continued private ownership and use where compatible with the purposes
for which the battlefield is established.
(d) Technical assistance
The Secretary may provide technical assistance to the Commonwealth
of Virginia, its political subdivisions, nonprofit entities, and private
property owners for the development of comprehensive plans, land use
guidelines, special studies, and other activities that are consistent
with the identification, protection, interpretation, and commemoration
of historically significant Civil War resources located inside and
outside of the boundaries of the battlefield park. The technical
assistance does not authorize the Secretary to own or manage any of the
resources outside the battlefield park boundaries.
