The Secretary can give back part of the federal government's legal authority over park land to a state or territory. This is done either by filing a notice with the state's top official or following that state's own laws, and Congress must get 60 days' notice first. The Secretary must also work to set up shared, or 'concurrent,' legal authority with each state or territory that has a park unit.

(a) In General. Despite any other law, the Secretary may give up, to a state or territory (including a U.S. possession), part of the federal government's legislative jurisdiction over System land or interests in land in that state or territory. This can be done either:
(1) by filing a notice of relinquishment with the state or territory's chief executive official, which takes effect once accepted; or
(2) in whatever other way the laws of that state or territory allow.

(b) Submission of Agreement to Congress. Before finishing a relinquishment under subsection (a), the Secretary must send the proposed agreement to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the House Committee on Natural Resources. The Secretary cannot finalize the agreement until 60 calendar days have passed since it was submitted.

(c) Concurrent Legislative Jurisdiction. The Secretary must work hard to reach arrangements with every state or territory that has a System unit, so that, as much as practical, the United States shares — holds "concurrent" — legislative jurisdiction within System units.
