Sec. 470h-1. Acceptance of privately donated funds by Secretary


(a) Authorization; use of funds

    In furtherance of the purposes of this subchapter, the Secretary may 
accept the donation of funds which may be expended by him for projects 
to acquire, restore, preserve, or recover data from any district, 
building, structure, site, or object which is listed on the National 
Register of Historic Places established pursuant to section 470a of this 
title, so long as the project is owned by a State, any unit of local 
government, or any nonprofit entity.

(b) Consideration of factors respecting expenditure of funds

    In expending said funds, the Secretary shall give due consideration 
to the following factors: the national significance of the project; its 
historical value to the community; the imminence of its destruction or 
loss; and the expressed intentions of the donor. Funds expended under 
this subsection shall be made available without regard to the matching 
requirements established by section 470b of this title but the recipient 
of such funds shall be permitted to utilize them to match any grants 
from the Historic Preservation Fund established by section 470h of this 
title.

(c) Transfer of unobligated funds

    The Secretary is hereby authorized to transfer unobligated funds 
previously donated to the Secretary for the purposes of the National 
Park Service, with the consent of the donor, and any funds so 
transferred shall be used or expended in accordance with the provisions 
of this subchapter.
