Page 24 TITLE 54—NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND RELATED PROGRAMS § 100755 (c) CONCURRENT LEGISLATIVE JURISDICTION.— The Secretary shall diligently pursue the con- summation of arrangements with each State or territory within which a System unit is located so that insofar as practicable the United States shall exercise concurrent legislative jurisdiction within System units.

L. 91–383, § 6, as added Pub. L. 94–458, § 2, Oct. 7, 1976, 90 Stat. 1939; Pub. L. 103–437, § 6(a)(1), Nov. 2, 1994, 108 Stat. 4583. In this section, the words ‘‘territory (including a pos- session)’’ are substituted for ‘‘territory, or possession’’ the 1st time the words appear for clarity, because a possession is a category of territory, that is, one that has very little local autonomy. In subsequent in- stances, the word ‘‘territory’’ is used in an equivalent sense. The word ‘‘Commonwealth’’ is omitted as being included in ‘‘territory (including a possession)’’. § 100755. Applicability of other laws (a) IN GENERAL.—This section and sections 100501, 100901(d) to (h), 101302(b)(2), 101901(c), and 102711 of this title, and the various authorities relating to the administration and protection of System units, including the provisions of law listed in subsection (b), shall, to the extent that those provisions are not in conflict with any such specific provision, be applicable to System units, and any reference in any of these provi- sions to a System unit does not limit those pro- visions to that System unit. (b) APPLICABLE PROVISIONS.—The provisions of law referred to in subsection (a) are— (1) section 100101(a), chapter 1003, sections 100751(a), 100752, 100753, 101101, 101102, 101511, 102101, 102712, 102901, 104905, and 104906, and chapter 2003 of this title; (2) the Act of March 4, 1911 (43 U.S.C. 961); and (3) chapter 3201 of this title.

Aug. 8, 1953, ch. 384, § 2(b), 67 Stat. 496; Pub. L. 91–383, § 2(b), Aug. 18, 1970, 84 Stat. 826. In subsection (a), the words ‘‘reference in such Act’’ are interpreted to mean ‘‘reference in such Acts’’ for clarity. In subsection (b)(1), the words ‘‘relating to donation of land and money’’, ‘‘relating to roads and trails’’, ‘‘re- lating to approach roads to national monuments’’, ‘‘re- lating to conveyance of roads to States’’, ‘‘relating to acquisitions of inholdings’’, and ‘‘relating to aid to visi- tors in emergencies’’ are omitted as unnecessary. The words ‘‘the Act of March 3, 1905 (33 Stat. 873; 16 U.S.C. 10), relating to arrests’’ are omitted because the Act was repealed by section 10(a)(2) of the Act of August 18, 1970 (known as the National Park System General Au- thorities Act) (Public Law 91–383), as added by section 2 of the Act of October 7, 1976 (Public Law 94–458, 90 Stat. 1941). The words ‘‘relating to services or other ac- commodations for the public, emergency supplies and services to concessioners, acceptability of travelers checks, care and removal of indigents’’ are omitted as unnecessary. The words ‘‘the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 Stat. 696; 16 U.S.C. 20–20g), relating to concessions’’ are omitted because the Act was repealed by section 415(a) of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998 (Public Law 105–391, 112 Stat. 3515). In subsection (b)(2), the words ‘‘relating to rights of way’’ are omitted as unnecessary. Subsection (b)(3) is added for clarity because many of the laws that established a System unit provided that the Secretary, in addition to administering the unit in accordance with the Act of August 25, 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1, 3, 3, and 4) and with laws generally applicable to Sys- tem units, administer the unit in accordance with the Act of August 21, 1935 (16 U.S.C. 461 to 467).
