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

This section is a narrow exemption, similar to section 47b of this title. It says the Federal Power Act, as amended, does not apply to any land added to Yosemite National Park under the authority of section 47e of this title — the section letting the Secretary of the Interior purchase or condemn certain private land for the park. This means federal power-licensing rules that would normally apply to park land do not reach these specific purchased parcels.
