16 U.S.C. § 410cc–12 — Consultations, cooperation, and conduct of activities by Federal entities; issuance of licenses or permits by Federal entities

(a) Activities directly affecting park Any federal agency that does something affecting the park or preservation district must talk with, work with, and coordinate with the Secretary and the Commission as much as it reasonably can. The agency must also carry out its activities so that, as much as practical, they (A) match the standards and criteria set under section 410cc–32(e), and (B) do not harm the park's or district's resources. (b) Determination as to proposed activities A federal agency cannot give any person a license or permit to do something in the park or district unless the agency first decides that the activity will follow the standards and criteria under section 410cc–32(e) and will not harm the park's or district's resources.
