              TITLE 36--PARKS, FORESTS, AND PUBLIC PROPERTY
 
      CHAPTER I--NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 18--LEASES AND EXCHANGES OF HISTORIC PROPERTY--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 18.1  Authority.

    Section 207 of the National Historic Preservation Act Amendments of 
December 12, 1980, Pub. L. 96-515, 94 Stat. 2997, amends the National 
Historic Preservation Act of 1966, 16 U.S.C. 470 et seq., by adding a 
new section 111. Section 111(a) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 
to lease historic property owned by the Department of the Interior or to 
exchange certain property owned by the Department of the Interior with 
certain comparable non-federally owned historic property in order to 
ensure the preservation of the historic property. Section 111(b) 
provides that proceeds from such leases of an historic property may be 
retained by the agency to defray the cost of administering, maintaining, 
repairing, or otherwise preserving the property or other properties on 
the National Register. The Secretary must consult with the Advisory 
Council on Historic Preservation before taking an action pursuant to 
this part.
