generally. Prior to amendment, subsec. (a) read as follows: "The

for land for which payment under this chapter otherwise may be

payments for land a State or unit acquires from a private party to

donate to the Government within 8 years of acquisition, nor does

this subsection apply to payments for lands in Utah acquired by the

United States if at the time of such acquisition units, under

Sec. 6904. Additional payments

-STATUTE-

(a) In addition to payments the Secretary of the Interior makes

under section 6902 of this title, the Secretary shall make a

payment for each fiscal year to a unit of general local government

collecting and distributing real property taxes (including a unit

in Alaska outside the boundaries of an organized borough) in which

is located an interest in land that -

(1) the United States Government acquires for -

(A) the National Park System; or

(B) the National Forest Wilderness Areas; and

(2) was subject to local real property taxes within the 5-year

period before the interest is acquired.

(b) The Secretary shall make payments only for the 5 fiscal years

after the fiscal year in which the interest in land is acquired.

Under guidelines the Secretary prescribes, the unit of general

local government receiving the payment from the Secretary shall

distribute payments proportionally to units and school districts

that lost real property taxes because of the acquisition of the

interest. A unit receiving a distribution may use a payment for any

governmental purpose.

(c) Each yearly payment by the Secretary under this section is

equal to one percent of the fair market value of the interest in

land on the date the Government acquires the interest. However, a

payment may not be more than the amount of real property taxes

levied on the property during the last fiscal year before the

fiscal year in which the interest is acquired. A decision on fair

market value under this section may not include an increase in the

value of an interest because the land is rezoned when the rezoning

causes the increase after the date of enactment of a law

authorizing the acquisition of an interest under subsection (a) of

this section.

(d) The Secretary may prescribe regulations under which payments

may be made to units of general local government when subsections

(a) and (b) of this section will not carry out the purpose of

subsections (a) and (b).

Sec. 6907. State legislation requiring reallocation or

redistribution of payments to smaller units of general purpose

government

-STATUTE-

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a State

may enact legislation which requires that any payments which would

be made to units of general local government pursuant to this

chapter be reallocated and redistributed in whole or part to other

smaller units of general purpose government which (1) are located

within the boundaries of the larger unit of general local

government, (2) provide general governmental services and (3)

contain entitlement lands within their boundaries. Such

reallocation or redistribution shall generally reflect the level of

services provided by, and the number of entitlement acres within,

the smaller unit of general local government.

(b) Upon enactment of legislation by a State, described in

subsection (a), the Secretary shall make one payment to such State

equaling the aggregate amount of payments which he otherwise would

have made to units of general local government within such State

pursuant to this chapter. It shall be the responsibility of such

State to make any further distribution of the payment pursuant to

subsection (a). Such redistribution shall be made within 30 days

after receipt of such payment. No payment, or portion thereof, made

by the Secretary shall be used by any State for the administration

of this subsection or subsection (a).

(c) Appropriations made for payments in lieu of taxes for a

fiscal year may be used to correct underpayments in the previous

fiscal year to achieve equity among all qualified recipients.
