(C) *Allocation based on fees collected.—* — The amount allocated to each System unit under this paragraph for each fiscal year based on fees collected shall be a fraction of the total allocation to all System units under this paragraph.

In subsection (a), the text of 16 U.S.C. 79 (2d proviso) is omitted as obsolete because title 65 of the Revised States of the United States was repealed by section 1 of the Act of July 16, 1947 (ch. 256, 61 Stat. 327). In subsection (a)(1), the words ‘‘and the Yosemite, Se- quoia, and General Grant national parks, California’’ are omitted as unnecessary because ‘‘other reserva- tions’’ encompasses all System units. The inclusion of paragraphs (4) and (5) of subsection (a) do not have any effect on rights of way under sub- section (b). In subsection (a)(4), the words ‘‘or his successor in his discretion’’ are omitted as unnecessary. In subsection (b), the text of 16 U.S.C. 5 (last para- graph) is omitted as obsolete. The word ‘‘Secretary’’ is substituted for ‘‘the head of the department having ju- risdiction over the lands’’ and ‘‘chief officer of the de- partment under whose supervision or control such res- ervation falls’’ because the portion of the Act of March 4, 1911 (ch. 238, 36 Stat. 1253) classified to 16 U.S.C. 5 re- lates only to System units. § 100903.
