16 U.S.C. § 410jjjj — Designation of Pullman National Historical Park

(a) Definitions This section defines two terms. "Historical park" means the Pullman National Historical Park. "Map" means the official map titled "Pullman National Historical Park Boundary," numbered 590/125,485 and dated November 2021. (b) Redesignation of Pullman National Monument (1) In general — The Pullman National Monument, which Presidential Proclamation Number 9233 created on February 19, 2015, is renamed the "Pullman National Historical Park." (2) Availability of funds — Any money set aside for the old monument can now be used for the historical park instead. (3) References — Wherever a law, rule, document, record, or map mentions the "Pullman National Monument," that mention now means the historical park. (4) Proclamation — Proclamation Number 9233 no longer has any legal effect. (c) Purposes The historical park exists to preserve, protect, and explain Pullman's nationally important cultural and historical resources. Those resources connect to five things: (1) the United States' labor history and the creation of the national Labor Day holiday; (2) the first planned industrial community in the country; (3) the architecture and landscape design of that planned community; (4) the key role Pullman railroad porters played as the African-American middle class grew; and (5) all the history, culture, and historic figures described in Presidential Proclamation Number 9233. (d) Administration The Secretary of the Interior must manage the land inside the park's boundary according to (1) this section, and (2) the laws that generally apply to National Park System units. Those laws include specific sections of title 54 — namely section 100101(a), all of chapter 1003, sections 100751(a), 100752, 100753, and 102101, and all of chapter 3201. (e) Cooperative agreements (1) In general — To support the park's goals, the Secretary can make cooperative agreements with the State of Illinois, other public or nonprofit groups, and other interested parties — even though a law about government contracts (chapter 63 of title 31) would otherwise apply. These agreements can do two things: (A) support joint educational and interpretive programs at historic properties within the park's boundaries that the federal government doesn't own; and (B) help identify, explain, and preserve non-federal land inside the park's boundaries, and at nearby sites just outside those boundaries — including putting up signs, exhibits, and interactive displays. (2) Public access — Every such agreement must guarantee reasonable public access. (f) Use of funds (1) In general — The Secretary may spend appropriated money to mark, explain, improve, restore, and give technical help toward preserving and interpreting these properties. (2) Inconsistent purposes — Any time the Secretary pays for such work, the payment comes with a condition. If the property is later converted, used, or disposed of in a way the Secretary decides goes against this section's purposes, the United States has the right to be repaid. The repayment equals whichever is larger: (A) the amount the Secretary originally paid, or (B) the increase in the property's value that came from that funding, valued at the time of the conversion, use, or disposal. (g) Acquisition of land The Secretary may add land — including buildings and structures — to the historical park. This land can come from the State of Illinois or any other political, private, or nonprofit entity. The Secretary can get it by donation, transfer, exchange, or by buying it from a willing seller. (h) Management plan The Secretary must finish a management plan for the historical park. This must happen within three fiscal years after money is first made available to carry out this section.
