Lake Mead keeps being run under the Secretary's existing rules, though the Secretary can update them. The Secretary's authority here works like running a regular national park. Breaking these rules is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $500 fine, six months in jail, or both.
This recreation area continues to be run under the regulations the Secretary of the Interior already issued for it. The Secretary can revise those regulations, or write new ones, to carry out this subchapter's purposes.
In running and regulating the area, the Secretary has authority comparable to the Secretary's general power over regular national park system areas, subject to this subchapter's own rules and limits.
Anyone who breaks a rule or regulation issued under this subchapter is guilty of a misdemeanor. The punishment can be a fine of up to $500, imprisonment of up to six months, or both.
Such national recreation area shall continue to be administered in accordance with regulations heretofore issued by the Secretary of the Interior relating to such areas, and the Secretary may revise such regulations or issue new regulations to carry out the purposes of this subchapter. In his administration and regulation of the area, the Secretary shall exercise authority, subject to the provisions and limitations of this subchapter, comparable to his general administrative authority relating to areas of the national park system.
Any person who violates a rule or regulation issued pursuant to this subchapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and may be punished by a fine of not more than $500, or by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
