Three earlier laws about Hawaii National Park also apply to the newly added lands. These laws created the park, set up the National Park Service, and allowed land purchases inside it. The Federal Power Act is one exception; it still does not apply to the new lands.

The following laws, and everything that has amended or supplemented them, now apply to the lands added to the park by this subchapter: the Act of August 1, 1916, which established the national park in the Territory of Hawaii; the Act of August 25, 1916, which established the National Park Service; and the Act of February 27, 1920, which let Hawaii's governor acquire privately owned land and rights-of-way inside the park's boundaries. There is one exception: the Federal Power Act does not apply to, or extend over, these newly added lands.
