The Federal Power Act does not apply to land added to Yosemite National Park under section 47a. This exempts those specific added lands from federal power-project regulation. No other part of the park is affected by this rule.

This section is a narrow exemption. It says the Federal Power Act does not apply to any land that gets added to Yosemite National Park under the authority of section 47a of this title — the section that lets the President add timber-preservation land to the park. This means that federal power-licensing rules that would normally apply to park land do not reach these specific parcels.
