The Secretary of the Interior can build facilities near, but outside, Zion and Yosemite National Parks. This includes transportation systems funded by donations or appropriated money. New facilities must avoid harming resources, improve service, or save money.

To help run Zion National Park and Yosemite National Park, the Secretary of the Interior can spend donated or appropriated money on transportation systems or other essential facilities for park administration and visitors. These facilities can be built outside the park's boundary, as long as they are still nearby. These systems and facilities must follow the park's approved plans. The Secretary must use existing facilities whenever that is possible, instead of building new ones. The Secretary can only build a new facility after finding that its location will do one of three things: (1) avoid seriously damaging natural or cultural resources inside the park; (2) improve service to the public; or (3) save the federal government money. The Secretary can also make cooperative agreements with state or local governments, or private groups, to carry out this work. The Secretary is encouraged to find outside funding sources to add to any federal money used for these facilities.

In order to facilitate the administration of Zion National Park and Yosemite National Park, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized, under such terms and conditions as he may deem advisable, to expend donated or appropriated funds for transportation systems or for the establishment of essential facilities for park administration and visitor use outside the boundaries, but within the vicinity, of the park. Such systems or facilities and the use thereof shall be in conformity with approved plans for the park. The Secretary shall use existing facilities wherever feasible. Such facilities may only be constructed by the Secretary upon a finding that the location of such facilities would—

(1)

avoid undue degradation of natural or cultural resources within the park;

(2)

enhance service to the public; or

(3)

provide a cost saving to the Federal Government.

The Secretary is authorized to enter into cooperative agreements with State or local governments or private entities to undertake the authority granted under this section. The Secretary is encouraged to identify and utilize funding sources to supplement any Federal funding used for these facilities.
