Congress may fund Point Reyes National Seashore as much as needed. No more than $57,500,000 can go toward buying land, plus $5,000,000 added later. New land inside the seashore cannot be used for homes or businesses, except approved public services.

This section has no lettered subsections. Congress can appropriate whatever money is necessary to carry out sections 459c through 459c–7. But there's a cap: no more than $57,500,000 total for acquiring land, water, improvements, related interests, and incidental costs. Land acquired later inside the seashore's boundaries cannot be leased, sold, or given for residential or commercial use — except for public accommodations, facilities, and services allowed under the Act of October 9, 1965 (Public Law 89-249). Beyond the amount already authorized, this section also authorizes an additional $5,000,000 to acquire land or interests in land.
