Sec. 876. Powers of other Federal and local agencies in the 
        development area; certification of new construction, etc.
        
    (a) Nothing in this chapter shall preclude other agencies or 
instrumentalities of the Federal Government or of the District of 
Columbia from exercising any lawful powers in the development area 
consistent with the development plan or the provisions and purposes of 
this chapter; but no such agency or instrumentality shall release, 
modify, or depart from any feature or detail of the development plan 
without the prior approval of the Corporation.
    (b) After October 1, 1974, no new construction (including 
substantial remodeling, conversion, rebuilding, enlargement, extension, 
or major structural improvement of existing building, but not including 
ordinary maintenance or remodeling or changes necessary to continue 
occupancy) shall be authorized or conducted within the development area 
except upon prior certification by the Corporation that the construction 
is, or may reasonably be expected to be, consistent with the carrying 
out of the development plan for the area: Provided, That if the 
development plan for the area does not become effective under the 
provisions of section 874 of this title by June 30, 1975, this 
subsection shall be of no further force and effect until such time as 
the development plan does become effective under that section.
