The Secretary of the Interior must tell North Carolina's and Tennessee's governors, in writing, that this law passed and that the United States now polices the park. When either state hands over more park land later, the same legal rules apply to that new land too.

The Secretary of the Interior must notify, in writing, the Governors of North Carolina and Tennessee that this Act was passed and approved, and that the United States now has police jurisdiction over the park, as spelled out in each state's own law giving up that jurisdiction. Whenever the Secretary later accepts more land — land that becomes, now or in the future, part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park — the same legal provisions (sections 2 through 9) apply to that new land too.
