Sec. 1006 - Specific conditions applicable to Area I and Area II

The Secretary or Administrator (as appropriate) may, after seeking the advice of the National Capital Memorial Commission, recommend the location of a commemorative work in Area I only if the Secretary or Administrator (as appropriate) determines that the subject of the commemorative work is of preeminent historical and lasting significance to the Nation. The Secretary or Administrator (as appropriate) shall notify the National Capital Memorial Commission and the committees of Congress specified in section 1003(b) 1 of this title of the recommendation by the Secretary or Administrator (as appropriate) that a commemorative work should be located in Area I. The location of a commemorative work in Area I shall be deemed not authorized, unless, not later than 150 calendar days after such notification, the recommendation is approved by law.

Commemorative works of subjects of lasting historical significance to the American people may be located in Area II.

(Pub. L. 99–652, §6, Nov. 14, 1986, 100 Stat. 3651; Pub. L. 103–321, §2(c), Aug. 26, 1994, 108 Stat. 1794.)

1994—Pub. L. 103–321 amended section generally, substituting requirement that Secretary or Administrator, as appropriate, notify National Capital Memorial Commission of recommendation of locating a commemorative work in Area I for requirement that Secretary or Administrator consult with National Capital Memorial Commission regarding determination that commemorative work be located in Area I and deleted conditions for locating military commemorative works or commemorative works commemorating individuals or groups of individuals in either Area I or Area II. See section 1003(b) and (c) of this title.

1 So in original. Probably should be section “1003(d)”.
