in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The National Park Service Director can let the Secretary of Agriculture temporarily use part of Potomac Park for testing. This use is limited to 75 acres not needed that season for park purposes. The land stays a public park under the Director's control the whole time.

(a) Not More Than 75 Acres. The Director of the National Park Service may allow the Secretary of Agriculture to temporarily occupy part of Potomac Park as a testing ground. This is capped at 75 acres, and only land not needed that season for reclamation or park improvement can be used. If the Director asks the Secretary to leave at the end of a season, the Secretary must vacate the area. (b) Continue as Public Park Under Director. This arrangement doesn't change what the land essentially is. It stays a public park, and the Director of the National Park Service keeps charge of it throughout.
