This section creates the National Park Centennial Challenge Fund. Pass revenue over $10,000,000 each year gets deposited into the fund and stays available until spent. That money must be matched at least dollar-for-dollar by non-federal donations and cannot buy land.
(a) In General.— The Treasury creates an account called the National Park Centennial Challenge Fund.
(b) Deposits.— Each fiscal year, money the United States gets from National Park Service* sales of National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Passes — under section 805(b)(1) of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act — that goes over $10,000,000 gets deposited into this Fund. That money stays available to the Secretary* until spent.
(c) Use of Funds.— Money in the Fund (1) must go to projects or programs the Secretary approves that support the Service's mission and improve the visitor experience in System* units; (2) cannot be used to buy land or land interests; and (3) can only be spent if matched, at least one-to-one, by non-federal donations — including funds and fairly valued durable goods and materials — given to the Service for signature projects or programs.
(d) Limitation on Source of Funds for Matching.— Money from the Second Century Endowment for the National Park Service does not count as a non-federal donation for the matching requirement in (c)(3).
There is established in the Treasury an account to be known as the National Park Centennial Challenge Fund.
All amounts received by the United States each fiscal year from sales by the National Park Service* of National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Passes under section 805(b)(1) of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act that are in excess of $10,000,000 shall be deposited into the National Park Centennial Challenge Fund as offsetting collections and shall remain available to the Secretary* until expended.
Funds collected and deposited into the National Park Centennial Challenge Fund—
shall be used for projects or programs approved by the Secretary to further the mission of the Service and to enhance the visitor experience in System* units;
may not be used to acquire lands or interest in lands; and
may only be used if matched, on at least a 1-to-1 basis, by non-Federal donations (including funds and fairly valued durable goods and materials) to the Service for signature projects or programs.
Amounts derived from the Second Century Endowment for the National Park Service shall not be treated as non-Federal donations for purposes of subsection (c)(3).
