(2) Consistent with [section 460aaa–6 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section460aaa-6&num=0&edition=prelim), and the purposes of this subchapter, the Secretary shall provide for and maintain traditional public access, including vehicular roads for general recreational activities such as camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and trapping.

Such use shall be regulated to protect the resources of the national recreation area in a way that minimizes the degradation of these resources. (4) Timber management shall be utilized only as a tool to enhance public recreation, scenic quality, game and nongame wildlife species, and the protection and enhancement of threatened, endangered, or sensitive species. Trees damaged or downed due to fire, insects, disease, or blowdown may be utilized, salvaged, or removed from the recreation area as authorized by the Secretary to further the purposes of the national recreation area. (5) The Secretary shall, after acquiring fee title to at least 10,000 acres of land on Grand Island, provide reasonable water transportation from the mainland to Grand Island. Transportation may be provided through concession, permit, or other means, and a reasonable charge may be imposed.

(8) Under the authority of the Act of March 4, 1915, as amended ([16 U.S.C. 497](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section497&num=0&edition=prelim)), the Secretary shall, as a condition of acquisition, issue occupancy and use permits for any privately owned home as of the date of Federal acquisition of the land within the national recreation area on which the home is located. Any such permit shall be issued for an initial period of 20 years and shall be renewed thereafter for successive 20-year periods so long as the permittee is in compliance with the purposes of this subchapter, the terms of the permit, and other applicable rules and regulations. Any such permit shall be issued in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations of the Secretary pertaining to the National Forest System, except that such permit shall be subject to the following special provisions: (A) Such permit may only be issued to the owner of such home as of the date of Federal acquisition of the property, such owner’s spouse, the children, stepchildren, and grandchildren of such owner and spouse, and their direct lineal descendants (natural or adopted offspring). (B) Only noncommercial recreation occupancy may be permitted. (C) The Secretary shall collect fees on an annual basis based on the fair market value of the occupancy permitted. (D) The expansion, remodeling, or reconstruction of such homes shall be subject to approval of and regulation by the Secretary.

Any expansion, remodeling, or reconstruction shall be consistent with the criteria developed pursuant to [section 460aaa–6(b)(4) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section460aaa–6/b/4&num=0&edition=prelim) and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe. (E) Any such home may be purchased at the fair market value of the structure and improvements by the Secretary on a willing seller basis. (F) The permit may be terminated at any time for failure to comply with its terms and conditions and applicable regulations without cost to the Federal Government in accordance with the permit. (G) After termination of any such permit, if any improvements or property are not removed by their owner within one year of the termination, they shall become the property of the Federal Government. (9) Solely for purposes of payments pursuant to [section 6904 of title 31](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title31-section6904&num=0&edition=prelim), lands on Grand Island acquired by the United States after January 1, 1990 shall be considered to have been acquired for addition to a National Forest Wilderness Area (national forest portion of the National Wilderness Preservation System).

31 U.S.C. § 6904 — Additional payments

**(a)** In addition to payments the Secretary of the Interior makes under [section 6902 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title31-section6902&num=0&edition=prelim), the Secretary shall make a payment for each fiscal year to a unit of general local government collecting and distributing real property taxes (including a unit in Alaska outside the boundaries of an organized borough) in which is located an interest in land that— (1) the United States Government acquires for— (A) the National Park System; or (B) the National Forest Wilderness Areas; and (2) was subject to local real property taxes within the 5-year period before the interest is acquired. **(b)** The Secretary shall make payments only for the 5 fiscal years after the fiscal year in which the interest in land is acquired. Under guidelines the Secretary prescribes, the unit of general local government receiving the payment from the Secretary shall distribute payments proportionally to units and school districts that lost real property taxes because of the acquisition of the interest. A unit receiving a distribution may use a payment for any governmental purpose. **(c)** Each yearly payment by the Secretary under this section is equal to one percent of the fair market value of the interest in land on the date the Government acquires the interest. However, a payment may not be more than the amount of real property taxes levied on the property during the last fiscal year before the fiscal year in which the interest is acquired. A decision on fair market value under this section may not include an increase in the value of an interest because the land is rezoned when the rezoning causes the increase after the date of enactment of a law authorizing the acquisition o
