Sec. 410ff-1. Acquisition of property

-STATUTE-
(a) Authority of Secretary of the Interior; fair market value;
State-owned land; Federal property located within park
Within the boundaries of the park as established in section 410ff
of this title, the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter referred
to as the "Secretary") is authorized to acquire lands, waters, or
interests therein (including but not limited to scenic easements)
by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, transfer
from any Federal agency, exchange, or otherwise. Unless the
property is wholly or partially donated, the Secretary shall pay to
the owner the fair market value of the property on the date of its
acquisition, less the fair market value on that date of any right
retained by the owner. Any lands, waters, or interests therein
owned by the State of California or any political subdivision
thereof shall not be acquired. Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, Federal property located within the boundaries of the park
shall with the concurrence of the head of the agency having custody
thereof, be transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of the
Secretary for the purposes of the park: Provided, That the
Secretary shall permit the use of federally owned park lands and
waters which (i) have been transferred from another Federal agency
pursuant to this section or which (ii) were the subject of a lease
or permit issued by a Federal agency as of March 5, 1980, for
essential national security missions and for navigational aids,
subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary deems
necessary to protect park resources.
(b) Lands owned, or under option to, National Park Foundation, The
Nature Conservancy, or similar organizations
Notwithstanding the acquisition authority contained in subsection
(a) of this section, any lands, waters, or interests therein, which
are owned wholly or in part, by or which hereafter may be owned by,
or under option to, the National Park Foundation, The Nature
Conservancy (including any lands, waters, or interests therein
which are designated as "Nature Conservancy Lands" on the map
referred to in section 410ff of this title) or any similar
national, nonprofit conservation organization, or an affiliate or
subsidiary thereof shall be acquired only with the consent of the
owner thereof: Provided, That the Secretary may acquire such
property in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter if he
determines that the property is undergoing or is about to undergo a
change in use which is inconsistent with the purposes of this
subchapter.
(c) Privately owned lands on Santa Rosa Island
With respect to the privately owned lands on Santa Rosa Island,
the Secretary shall acquire such lands as expeditiously as possible
after March 5, 1980. The acquisition of these lands shall take
priority over the acquisition of other privately owned lands within
the park.
(d) Retention of rights by owners; compatible use under lease
(1) The owner of any private property may, on the date of its
acquisition and as a condition of such acquisition, retain for
himself a right of use and occupancy of all or such portion of such
property as the owner may elect for a definite term of not more
than twenty-five years, or ending at the death of the owner, or his
spouse, whichever is later. The owner shall elect the term to be
reserved. Any such right retained pursuant to this subsection with
respect to any property shall be subject to termination by the
Secretary upon his determination that such property is being used
for any purpose which is incompatible with the administration of
the park or with the preservation of the resources therein, and it
shall terminate by operation of law upon notification by the
Secretary to the holder of the right, of such determination and
tendering to him the amount equal to the fair market value of that
portion which remains unexpired.
(2) In the case of any property acquired by the Secretary
pursuant to this subchapter with respect to which a right of use
and occupancy was not reserved by the former owner pursuant to this
subsection, at the request of the former owner, the Secretary may
enter into a lease agreement with the former owner under which the
former owner may continue any existing use of such property which
is compatible with the administration of the park and with the
preservation of the resources therein.
(3) Any right retained pursuant to this subsection, and any lease
entered into under paragraph (2), shall be subject to such access
and other provisions as may be required by the Secretary for
visitor use and resources management.
(e) Acquisition of certain property on Santa Cruz Island
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, effective 90 days
after November 12, 1996, all right, title, and interest in and to,
and the right to immediate possession of, the real property on the
eastern end of Santa Cruz Island which is known as the Gherini
Ranch is hereby vested in the United States, except for the
reserved rights of use and occupancy set forth in Instrument No.
90-027494 recorded in the Official Records of the County of Santa
Barbara, California.
(2) The United States shall pay just compensation to the owners
of any real property taken pursuant to this subsection, determined
as of the date of taking. The full faith and credit of the United
States is hereby pledged to the payment of any judgment entered
against the United States with respect to the taking of such
property. Payment shall be in the amount of the agreed negotiated
value of such real property plus interest or the valuation of such
real property awarded by judgment plus interest. Interest shall
accrue from the date of taking to the date of payment. Interest
shall be compounded quarterly and computed at the rate applicable
for the period involved, as determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury on the basis of the current average market yield on
outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of
comparable maturities from November 12, 1996, to the last day of
the month preceding the date on which payment is made.
(3) In the absence of a negotiated settlement, or an action by
the owner, within 1 year after November 12, 1996, the Secretary
shall initiate a proceeding, seeking in a court of competent
jurisdiction a determination of just compensation with respect to
the taking of such property.
(4) The Secretary shall not allow any unauthorized use of the
lands to be acquired under this subsection, except that the
Secretary shall permit the orderly termination of all current
activities and the removal of any equipment, facilities, or
personal property.
