TITLE 16—CONSERVATION
§ 346e
(July 11, 1956, ch. 568, § 3, 70 Stat. 527.)
§ 346e. Authorization for park facilities to be lo-
cated outside the boundaries of Zion Na-
tional Park and Yosemite National Park
In order to facilitate the administration of
Zion National Park and Yosemite National
Park, the Secretary of the Interior is author-
ized, under such terms and conditions as he may
deem advisable, to expend donated or appro-
priated funds for transportation systems or for
the establishment of essential facilities for park
administration and visitor use outside the
boundaries, but within the vicinity, of the park.
Such systems or facilities and the use thereof
shall be in conformity with approved plans for
the park. The Secretary shall use existing facili-
ties wherever feasible. Such facilities may only
be constructed by the Secretary upon a finding
that the location of such facilities would—
(1) avoid undue degradation of natural or
cultural resources within the park;
(2) enhance service to the public; or
(3) provide a cost saving to the Federal Gov-
ernment.
The Secretary is authorized to enter into coop-
erative agreements with State or local govern-
ments or private entities to undertake the au-
thority granted under this section. The Sec-
retary is encouraged to identify and utilize
funding sources to supplement any Federal fund-
ing used for these facilities.
