16 U.S.C. § 272a — Acquisition of property
submitted 55 years ago by Pub. L. 92-155 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 110 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary of the Interior can acquire land for Arches National Park by donation, purchase, transfer, or exchange. Buying state-owned land needs Utah's approval first. After 1998, jurisdiction over the Lost Spring Canyon Addition moved from the Bureau of Land Management to the Park Service.
The Secretary is authorized to acquire by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, transfer from any Federal agency, exchange or otherwise, the lands and interests in lands described in section 272 of this title, except that lands or interests therein owned by the State of Utah, or any political subdivision thereof, may be acquired only with the approval of such State or political subdivision.
As soon as practicable after October 30, 1998, the Secretary shall transfer jurisdiction over the Federal land contained in the Lost Spring Canyon Addition from the Bureau of Land Management to the National Park Service.
