The National Park Service runs and protects a national historical park named earlier in this law. The Secretary of the Interior directs this work. It follows the 1916 Act that created the National Park Service.

This section has no lettered subsections. It does not name the park itself — it refers only to "the aforesaid national historical park," meaning a park identified earlier in the law that this supplied section does not include, so this translation cannot say which park it is. Running, protecting, and developing that park is the job of the National Park Service, working under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior. That work must follow the Act of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535) — the law titled "An Act to establish a National Park Service, and for other purposes" — as that 1916 Act has since been amended.
