The Secretary of the Interior can lease or otherwise transfer the newly acquired East Saint Louis land to other people or governments. The transfer must fit the area's management plan and follow certain federal land laws. The Secretary must protect existing compatible uses, historic resources, and rights needed for visitors, while considering the Memorial Commission's views.
Where appropriate in the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, he may transfer by lease or otherwise, to any appropriate person or governmental entity, land owned by the United States (or any interest therein) which has been acquired by the Secretary under section 450jj–3 of this title. Any such transfer shall be consistent with the management plan for the area and with the requirements of sections 100903 and 102901 of title 54 and shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Secretary deems necessary to carry out the purposes of sections 450jj to 450jj–9 of this title, including terms and conditions which provide for—
the continuation of existing uses of the land which are compatible with the Memorial,
the protection of the important historical resources of the leased area, and
the retention by the Secretary of such access and development rights as the Secretary deems necessary to provide for appropriate visitor use and resource management.
In transferring any lands or interest in lands under this section, the Secretary shall take into account the views of the Commission established under section 450jj–6 of this title.
