    (a) Transfer and Rights-of-Way.--The Secretary of the Interior 
(hereinafter in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') is 
authorized to transfer, without reimbursement, to York County, 
Virginia, that portion of the existing sewage disposal system, 
including related improvements and structures, owned by the United 
States and located within the Colonial National Historical Park, 
together with such rights-of-way as are determined by the Secretary to 
be necessary to maintain and operate such system.
    (b) Repair and Rehabilitation of System.--The Secretary is 
authorized to enter into a cooperative agreement with York County, 
Virginia, under which the Secretary will pay a portion, not to exceed 
$110,000, of the costs of repair and rehabilitation of the sewage 
disposal system referred to in subsection (a).
    (c) Fees and Charges.--In consideration for the rights-of-way 
granted under subsection (a), and in recognition of the National Park 
Service's contribution authorized under subsection (b), the cooperative 
agreement under subsection (b) shall provide for a reduction in, or the 
elimination of, the amounts charged to the National Park Service for

appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section.
