Sec. 8701. Findings and purposes

-STATUTE-

(a) Findings. - Congress finds that -

(1) the location of the seat of government in the District of

Columbia has brought about the development of a metropolitan

region extending well into adjoining territory in Maryland and

Virginia;

(2) effective comprehensive planning is necessary on a regional

basis and of continuing importance to the federal establishment;

(3) the distribution of federal installations throughout the

region has been and will continue to be a major influence in

determining the extent and character of development;

(4) there is needed a central planning agency for the National

Capital region to coordinate certain developmental activities of

the many different agencies of the Federal and District of

Columbia Governments so that those activities may conform with

general objectives;

(5) there is an increasing mutuality of interest and

responsibility between the various levels of government that

calls for coordinate and unified policies in planning both

federal and local development in the interest of order and

economy;

(6) there are developmental problems of an interstate

character, the planning of which requires collaboration between

federal, state, and local governments in the interest of equity

and constructive action; and

(7) the instrumentalities and procedures provided in this

chapter will aid in providing Congress with information and

advice requisite to legislation.

(b) Purposes. -

(1) In general. - The purposes of this chapter (except sections

8733-8736) are -

(A) to secure comprehensive planning for the physical

development of the National Capital and its environs;

(B) to provide for the participation of the appropriate

planning agencies of the environs in the planning; and

(C) to establish the agency and procedures requisite to the

administration of the functions of the Federal and District

Governments related to the planning.

(2) Objective. - The general objective of this chapter (except

sections 8733-8736) is to enable appropriate agencies to plan for

the development of the federal establishment at the seat of

government in a manner -

(A) consistent with the nature and function of the National

Capital and with due regard for the rights and prerogatives of

the adjoining States and local governments to exercise control

appropriate to their functions; and

(B) which will, in accordance with present and future needs,

best promote public health, safety, morals, order, convenience,

prosperity, and the general welfare, as well as efficiency and

economy in the process of development.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In this chapter, the word "Mayor" is substituted for

"Commissioners" [meaning the Board of Commissioners of the District

of Columbia] [subsequently changed to "Commissioner" [meaning the

Commissioner of the District of Columbia] because of section 401 of

Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1967 (eff. Nov. 3, 1967, 81 Stat.

951)] because of section 421 of the District of Columbia Home Rule

Act (Public Law 93-198, 87 Stat. 789). The words "Council of the

District of Columbia" are substituted for "Board of Commissioners

of the District of Columbia" [subsequently changed to "District of

Columbia Council" because of section 402(21), (28), (32), and (199)

of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1967 (eff. Nov. 3, 1967, 81 Stat.

952, 953, 963)] because of sections 401 and 404(a) of the Act (87

Stat. 785, 787).

In subsection (b)(1)(A), the words "the Chairman of the Committee

on Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Chairman of the

Committee on Government Reform of the House of Representatives" are

substituted for "and the chairman of the Committees of the District

of Columbia of the Senate and the House of Representatives" in

section 2(b)(1) of the Act of June 24, 1924 (ch. 270), because of

Rule XXV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, as amended by Senate

Resolution 4 (popularly cited as the "Committee System

Reorganization Amendments of 1977"), approved February 4, 1977,

section 1(b)(1) of the Act of June 3, 1995 (Public Law 104-14, 2:21

note prec.), and Rule X(1)(h) of House Resolution No. 5 (105th

Congress, January 6, 1999).

In subsection (b)(2), the words "bona fide" are omitted as

unnecessary.

In subsection (b)(3), the words "except that of the members first

appointed, the President shall designate one to serve two years and

one to serve four years" and "The members first appointed under

this section shall assume their office on January 2, 1975" are

omitted as obsolete.

In subsection (b)(4), the words "are entitled to $100 a day when

performing duties" are substituted for "shall each receive

compensation at the rate of $100 for each day such member is

engaged in the actual performance of duties" to eliminate

unnecessary words.

In subsection (d), the words "chapters 33 and 51, and subchapter

III of chapter 53" are substituted for "the civil service and

classification laws" because of section 7(b) of the Act of

September 6, 1966 (Public Law 89-554, 80 Stat. 631), the first

section of which enacted Title 5, United States Code.

In subsection (e), before clause (1), the words "As hereinafter

more specifically described in sections 71c to 71g of this title"

are omitted as unnecessary. The text of 40:71a(e)(3) is omitted as

obsolete because the National Capital Regional Planning Council was

abolished by section 1 of Reorganization Plan No. 5 of 1966 (eff.

Sept. 8, 1966, 40:71b note). In clause (2), the words "in such

capacity" are omitted as unnecessary.

Subsection (f) is substituted for 40:71h to eliminate obsolete

language.

In subsection (g), the words "Said Commission shall report to

Congress annually on the first Monday of March the lands acquired

during the preceding fiscal year, the method of acquisition, and

the cost of each tract" are omitted pursuant to section 3003 of the

Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (31 U.S.C. 1113

note). See, also, page 180 of House Document No. 103-7. The words

"Office of Management and Budget" are substituted for "Bureau of

the Budget" in section 13 of the Act of June 6, 1924, because the

Bureau of the Budget was redesignated the Office of Management and

Budget by section 102 of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970 (eff.

July 1, 1970, 84 Stat. 2085). Section 102 of Reorganization Plan

No. 2 of 1970 was repealed by section 5(b) of the Act of September

13, 1982 (Public Law 97-258, 96 Stat. 1085), the first section of

which enacted Title 31, United States Code, but the successor

provision, 31:501, continued the designation as Office of

Management and Budget.

In subsection (h), the words "beginning in fiscal year 1998 and

thereafter" are omitted as obsolete.

Sec. 8721. Comprehensive plan for the National Capital

-STATUTE-

(a) Preparation and Adoption by Commission. - The National

Capital Planning Commission shall prepare and adopt a

comprehensive, consistent, and coordinated plan for the National

Capital. The plan shall include the Commission's recommendations or

proposals for federal developments or projects in the environs and

District elements of the comprehensive plan, or amendments to the

elements, adopted by the Council of the District of Columbia and

with respect to which the Commission has not determined a negative

impact exists. Those elements or amendments shall be incorporated

into the comprehensive plan without change. The Commission may

include in its plan any part of a plan adopted by any planning

agency in the environs and may make recommendations of collateral

interest to the agencies. The Commission may adopt any part of an

element. The Commission shall review and may amend or extend the

plan so that its recommendations may be kept up to date.

(b) Review by District of Columbia. - The Mayor of the District

of Columbia shall submit each District element of the comprehensive

plan, and any amendment, to the Council for revision or

modification, and adoption, by act, following public hearings.

Following adoption and prior to implementation, the Council shall

submit each element or amendment to the Commission for review and

comment with regard to the impact of the element or amendment on

the interests or functions of the federal establishment in the

National Capital.

(c) Commission Response to Council Action. -

(1) Period of review. - Within 60 days after receiving an

element or amendment from the Council, the Commission shall

certify to the Council whether the element or amendment has a

negative impact on the interests or functions of the federal

establishment in the National Capital.

(2) No negative impact. - If the Commission takes no action in

the 60-day period, the element or amendment is deemed to have no

negative impact and shall be incorporated into the comprehensive

plan for the National Capital and implemented.

(3) Negative impact. -

(A) Certification to council. - If the Commission finds a

negative impact, it shall certify its findings and

recommendations to the Council.

(B) Response of council. - On receipt of the Commission's

findings and recommendations, the Council may -

(i) accept the findings and recommendations and modify the

element or amendment accordingly; or

(ii) reject the findings and recommendations and resubmit a

modified form of the element or amendment to the Commission

for reconsideration.

(C) Findings and recommendations accepted. - If the Council

accepts the findings and recommendations and modifies the

element or amendment, the Council shall submit the element or

amendment to the Commission for the Commission to determine

whether the modification has been made in accordance with the

Commission's findings and recommendations. If the Commission

does not act on the modified element or amendment within 30

days after receiving it, the element or amendment is deemed to

have been modified in accordance with the findings and

recommendations and shall be incorporated into the

comprehensive plan for the National Capital and implemented. If

within the 30-day period the Commission again determines the

element or amendment has a negative impact on the functions or

interests of the federal establishment in the National Capital,

the element or amendment shall not be implemented.

(D) Findings and recommendations rejected. - If the Council

rejects the findings and recommendations and resubmits a

modified element or amendment, the Commission, within 60 days

after receiving it, shall decide whether the modified element

or amendment has a negative impact on the interests or

functions of the federal establishment within the National

Capital. If the Commission does not act within the 60-day

period, the modified element or amendment is deemed to have no

negative impact and shall be incorporated into the

comprehensive plan and implemented. If the Commission finds a

negative impact, it shall certify its findings (in sufficient

detail that the Council can understand the basis of the

objection of the Commission) and recommendations to the Council

and the element or amendment shall not be implemented.

(d) Resubmission Deemed New Element or Amendment. - Any element

or amendment which the Commission has determined has a negative

impact on the federal establishment in the National Capital which

is submitted again in a modified form not less than one year from

the day it was last rejected by the Commission is deemed to be a

new element or amendment for purposes of the review procedure

specified in this section.

(e) Review, Hearings, and Citizen Advisory Councils. -

(1) Review. - Before the comprehensive plan, any element of the

plan, or any revision is adopted, the Commission shall present

the plan, element, or revision to the appropriate federal or

District of Columbia authorities for comment and recommendations.

The Commission may present the proposed revisions annually in a

consolidated form. Recommendations by federal and District of

Columbia authorities are not binding on the Commission, but the

Commission shall give careful consideration to any views and

recommendations submitted prior to final adoption.

(2) Hearings and citizen advisory councils. - The Commission -

Sec. 8722. Proposed federal and district developments and projects

-STATUTE-

(a) Agencies To Use Commission as Central Planning Agency. -

Agencies of the Federal Government responsible for public

developments and projects shall cooperate and correlate their

efforts by using the National Capital Planning Commission as the

central planning agency for federal activities in the National

Capital region. To aid the Commission in carrying out this

function, federal and District of Columbia governmental agencies on

request of the Commission shall furnish plans, data, and records

the Commission requires. The Commission on request shall furnish

related plans, data, and records to federal and District of

Columbia governmental agencies.

(b) Consultation Between Agencies and Commission. -

(1) Before construction plans prepared. - To ensure the

comprehensive planning and orderly development of the National

Capital, a federal or District of Columbia agency, before

preparing construction plans the agency originates for proposed

developments and projects or before making a commitment to

acquire land, to be paid for at least in part from federal or

District amounts, shall advise and consult with the Commission as

the agency prepares plans and programs in preliminary and

successive stages that affect the plan and development of the

National Capital. After receiving the plans, maps, and data, the

Commission promptly shall make a preliminary report and

recommendations to the agency. If the agency, after considering

the report and recommendations of the Commission, does not agree,

it shall advise the Commission and provide the reasons why it

does not agree. The Commission then shall submit a final report.

After consultation and suitable consideration of the views of the

Commission, the agency may proceed to take action in accordance

with its legal responsibilities and authority.

(2) Exceptions. -

(A) In general. - Paragraph (1) does not apply to projects

within the Capitol grounds or to structures erected by the

Department of Defense during wartime or national emergency

within existing military, naval, or Air Force reservations,

except that the appropriate defense agency shall consult with

the Commission as to any developments which materially affect

traffic or require coordinated planning of the surrounding

area.

(B) Advance decisions of commission. - The Commission shall

determine in advance the type or kinds of plans, developments,

projects, improvements, or acquisitions which do not need to be

submitted for review by the Commission as to conformity with

its plans.

(c) Additional Procedure for Developments and Projects Within

Environs. -

(1) Submission to commission. - Within the environs, general

plans showing the location, character, and extent of, and

intensity of use for, proposed federal and District developments

and projects involving the acquisition of land shall be submitted

to the Commission for report and recommendations before a final

commitment to the acquisition is made, unless the matter

specifically has been approved by law.

(2) Commission action. - Before acting on any general plan, the

Commission shall advise and consult with the appropriate planning

agency having jurisdiction over the affected part of the

environs. When the Commission decides that proposed developments

or projects submitted to the Commission under subsection (b)

involve a major change in the character or intensity of an

existing use in the environs, the Commission shall advise and

consult with the planning agency. The report and recommendations

shall be submitted within 60 days and shall be accompanied by any

reports or recommendations of the planning agency.

(3) Working with state or local authority or agency. - In

carrying out its planning functions with respect to federal

developments or projects in the environs, the Commission may work

with, and make agreements with, any state or local authority or

planning agency as the Commission considers necessary to have a

plan or proposal adopted and carried out.

(d) Approval of Federal Public Buildings. - The provisions of the

Act of June 20, 1938 (ch. 534, 52 Stat. 802) shall not apply to

federal public buildings. In order to ensure the orderly

development of the National Capital, the location, height, bulk,

number of stories, and size of federal public buildings in the

District of Columbia and the provision for open space in and around

federal public buildings in the District of Columbia is subject to

the approval of the Commission.

(e) Approval of District Government Buildings in Central Area. -

Subsection (d) is extended to include public buildings erected by

any agency of the Government of the District of Columbia in the

central area of the District (as defined by concurrent action of

the Commission and the Council of the District of Columbia), except

that the Commission shall transmit its approval or disapproval

within 30 days after the day the proposal was submitted to the

Commission.

acquired.

(b) How Land May Be Acquired. -

(1) Purchase or condemnation proceeding. - The National Capital

Planning Commission may buy land when the land can be acquired at

a price the Planning Commission considers reasonable or by a

Sec. 8732. Acquiring land subject to limited rights reserved to

grantor and limited permanent rights in land adjoining park

property

-STATUTE-

(a) In General. - The National Capital Planning Commission in

accordance with this chapter may acquire, for and on behalf of the

Federal Government, by gift, devise, purchase, or condemnation -

(1) fee title to land subject to limited rights, but not for

business purposes, reserved to the grantor; and

(2) permanent rights in land adjoining park property sufficient

to prevent the use of the land in certain specified ways which

would essentially impair the value of the park property for its

purposes.

(b) Prerequisites to Acquisition. -

(1) Fee title to land subject to limited rights. - The

reservation of rights to the grantor shall not continue beyond

the life of the grantor of the fee. The Commission must decide

that the permanent public park purposes for which control over

the land is needed are not essentially impaired by the reserved

rights and that there is a substantial saving in cost by

acquiring the land subject to the limited rights as compared with

the cost of acquiring unencumbered title to the land.

(2) Permanent rights in land adjoining park property. - The

Commission must decide that the protection and maintenance of the

essential public values of the park can be secured more

economically by acquiring the permanent rights than by acquiring

the land.

(c) Presidential Approval Required. - All contracts to acquire

land or rights under this section are subject to the approval of

the President.
