The Secretary of the Interior can buy or accept private land inside Zion National Park's revised boundary. The Secretary may use purchase, donations, or other methods. Once acquired, this land is managed as part of the park.

The Secretary of the Interior can acquire privately owned land, or rights in that land, located inside the park's newly revised boundary (set by the previous section). The Secretary can get this land by purchase, by donation, by using donated money, or by any other method the Secretary decides serves the public interest. Once the Secretary acquires this land, it becomes part of Zion National Park. It is managed under the rules of the Act of August 25, 1916 — the law that created the National Park Service — as that law has since been amended.
