16 U.S.C. § 267 — Authority of Secretary to acquire additional lands

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior expand a national historical park, overriding the limits in the Act of June 11, 1940, as amended (16 U.S.C. 261-265). The Secretary may acquire land by donation, by purchase using donated or appropriated funds, or by exchange. The land must be located in Bell County, Kentucky, or Claiborne County, Tennessee, and the total cannot exceed 60 acres. Once acquired, the land is added to and becomes part of Cumberland National Historical Park, and it is then governed by the laws, rules, and regulations that apply to that park.
