This law sets spending caps for Arches National Park. Congress can spend up to $275,000 to buy land and up to $1,031,800 (in April 1970 prices) for development. These caps can shift a bit if construction costs rise or fall.

Congress authorizes spending whatever money is needed to carry out the purposes of this subchapter — the law governing Arches National Park. The cap for buying land and land interests is $275,000. The cap for development is $1,031,800, priced as of April 1970. The development cap can move up or down based on ordinary changes in construction costs, as tracked by engineering cost indices for the type of construction involved. This money can only be used for acquiring and developing land after November 12, 1971.

The sums authorized in this section shall be available for acquisition and development undertaken subsequent to November 12, 1971.
