Section 1 National park service study and report
Study Process and Completion— The Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the National Park Service, shall conduct a special resources study to determine the suitability and feasibility of entering into public-private partnerships with non-Federal entities to operate East Potomac Golf Course, Langston Golf Course, and Rock Creek Park Golf Course, located in the District of Columbia. The Secretary shall conduct the study in accordance with section 8(c) of Public Law 91–383 (16 U.S.C. 1a–5(c)).
Considerations— In conducting the study pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary shall assume that—
one of the three golf courses will be a world-class, tournament-quality public course, with playing fees commensurate with such courses;
the other two golf courses shall be public courses of substantially similar quality to top-ranked courses owned by cities, towns, counties, and States; and
the playing fees for the two courses referred to in paragraph (2) shall remain the same as they are on the date of the enactment of this Act, but shall be indexed annually to the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Report— Not later than 3 years after the date on which funds are made available to carry out this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate a report containing—
the results of the study, including a determination of which golf course would be best suitable as the world-class, tournament-quality public course referred to in subsection (b)(1); and
any recommendations of the Secretary.
