References in Text

This Act, referred to in subsec. (a), means Pub. L. 95–625, Nov. 10, 1978, 92 Stat. 3467 , as amended, known as the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978. For complete classification of the Act to the Code, see Short Title of 1978 Amendment note set out under section 1 of this title and Tables.

Codification

In subsec. (a), "section 2505 of this title" was in the original "section 6 of this title" and was editorially translated as section 2505 of this title to reflect the probable intent of Congress in view of the subject matter of section 2505 which relates to innovative grants.

Amendments

1994-Pub. L. 103–322 designated existing provisions as subsec. (a), inserted heading, and added subsec. (b).

1984-Pub. L. 98–454 substituted "section" for "subsection" after "For the authorizations made in this".

"Secretary" Defined

Secretary means the Secretary of the Interior, see section 2 of Pub. L. 95–625, set out as a note under section 2503 of this title.
