                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
            CHAPTER 78--NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE IN ALASKA
 
Sec. 6507. Authorization of appropriations; Federal financial 
        assistance for increased municipal services and facilities in 
        communities located on or near reserve resulting from authorized 
        exploration and study activities
        
    (a) There are authorized to be appropriated to the Department of the 
Interior such sums as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of 
this chapter.
    (b) If the Secretary of the Interior determines that there is an 
immediate and substantial increase in the need for municipal services 
and facilities in communities located on or near the reserve as a direct 
result of the exploration and study activities authorized by this 
chapter and that an unfair and excessive financial burden will be 
incurred by such communities as a result of the increased need for such 
services and facilities, then he is authorized to assist such 
communities in meeting the costs of providing increased municipal 
services and facilities. The Secretary of the Interior shall carry out 
the provisions of this section through existing Federal programs and he 
shall consult with the heads of the departments or agencies of the 
Federal Government concerned with the type of services and facilities 
for which financial assistance is being made available.
