William Tauzin: “CARA says right now, Federal agencies using funds appropriated by this act may not apply any regulation on any lands…”

On the recordMay 10, 2000
CARA says right now, Federal agencies using funds appropriated by this act may not apply any regulation on any lands until the lands or water or an interest area is acquired in effect by the government. Until it is acquired, no new regulations. As far as other acts that apply regulations to those lands, they still apply. We do not change that. But we do protect against CARA increasing any regulatory authority on any land located next to any park. This amendment ought to be rejected.
