CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
SUBCHAPTER VII--REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK
Sec. 79k. Mitigation of adverse economic impacts to local
economy resulting from additional lands; analysis of Federal
actions necessary or desirable; consultations and considerations
by Secretaries concerned; reports to Congress; implementation of
programs; funding requirements
(a) The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretaries of
Agriculture, Commerce, and Labor, shall conduct an analysis of
appropriate Federal actions that may be necessary or desirable to
mitigate any adverse economic impacts to public and private segments of
the local economy, other than the owners of properties taken by this
Act, as a result of the addition of property to Redwood National Park
under sections 79b and 79c of this title. The Secretaries shall also
consider the benefits of making grants or entering into contracts or
cooperative agreements with the State of California or Del Norte and
Humboldt Counties as provided by subsection (b) of this section for the
purpose of development and implementation of a program of forest
resource improvement and utilization, including, but not limited to,
reforestation, erosion control, and other forest land conservation
measures, fisheries and fish and wildlife habitat improvements, and wood
energy facilities. Not later than January 1, 1979, the Secretary shall
submit to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President
of the Senate a report of his analysis, including his recommendations
with respect to actions that should be taken to mitigate any significant
short-term and long-term adverse effects on the local economy caused by
such addition.
(b) The Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Labor, in
consultation with the Secretary, and pursuant to his study, shall apply
such existing programs as are necessary and appropriate to further
mitigate identified employment and other adverse economic impacts on
public and private segments of the local economy, other than with regard
to the payment of just compensation to the owners of properties taken by
this Act and by this subchapter. In addition to the land rehabilitation
and employment provisions of this Act, which should have a substantial
positive economic effect on the local economy, the Secretaries of
Commerce and Labor are further authorized and directed to implement
existing authorities to establish employment programs, pursuant to such
grants, contracts and cooperative agreements with agencies of the
Federal Executive, the State of California, any political or
governmental subdivision thereof, any corporation, not-for-profit
corporation, private entity or person, for the development and
implementation of such programs, as, in the discretion of the
Secretaries of Commerce and Labor, may be necessary to provide
employment opportunities to those individuals affected by this taking
and to contribute to the economic revival of Del Norte and Humboldt
Counties, in northern California. Effective on October 1, 1978, there
are authorized such sums as may be necessary to carry out the employment
and economic mitigation provisions of this Act: Provided, That the
authority to make payments under this section shall be effective only to
such extent or in such amounts as are provided in advance in
appropriation Acts.
