H.R.
834 - National Trails System Willing Seller Act
(Rep. McInnis (R) Colorado and 20 others)
The
Administration supports H.R. 834, which would allow the use of federal
funds to acquire land for nine National Trails System (NTS) components
from willing sellers.
Passage
of H.R. 834 will provide more uniform resource protections for all
NTS components, as well as enable federal trail administrators and
managers to protect the resources of these nine NTS components by:
(1) allowing for the protection of cultural, historical, and natural
resources that are on non-federal lands; (2) permitting the relocation
of on-road sections of the NTS to safer, more appropriate off-road
sites; and (3) making the market value of land available to willing
sellers.
