             TITLE 40--PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PROPERTY, AND WORKS
 
     CHAPTER 21--NATIONAL CAPITAL MEMORIALS AND COMMEMORATIVE WORKS
 
Sec. 1009. Temporary site designation

    (a) If the Secretary, in consultation with the National Capital 
Memorial Commission, determines that a site where commemorative works 
may be displayed on a temporary basis is necessary in order to aid in 
the preservation of the limited amount of open space available to 
residents of, and visitors to, the Nation's Capital, a site may be 
designated on lands administered by the Secretary in the District of 
Columbia. A designation may not be made under the preceding sentence 
unless, at least one hundred and twenty days before the designation, the 
Secretary, in consultation with the National Capital Memorial 
Commission, prepares and submits to the Congress a plan for the site. 
The plan shall include specifications for the location, construction, 
and administration of the site, and criteria for displaying 
commemorative works at the site.
    (b) Any commemorative work displayed at the site shall be installed, 
maintained, and removed at the sole expense and risk of the person 
authorized to display the commemorative works. Such person shall agree 
to indemnify the United States for any liability arising from the 
display of the commemorative work under this section.
