                                 A BILL


 
     To establish the Steel Industry National Historic Park in the 
                     Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Homestead Steel Works National 
Historic Site Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS, PURPOSES, AND DEFINITIONS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Certain sites and structures in the Commonwealth of 
        Pennsylvania symbolize in physical form the heritage of the 
        steel industry of the United States.
            (2) A very large proportion of the buildings and other 
        structures in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are nationally 
        significant historical resources, including the United States 
        Steel Homestead Works, the Carrie Furnace complex, and the Hot 
        Metal Bridge.
            (3) Despite substantial efforts for cultural preservation 
        and historical interpretation by the Commonwealth of 
        Pennsylvania and by individuals and public and private entities 
        in the Commonwealth, these buildings and other structures may 
        be lost without the assistance of the Federal Government.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to ensure the 
preservation, interpretation, visitor enjoyment, and maintenance of the 
nationally significant historical and cultural sites and structures 
described in subsection (a) for the benefit and inspiration of present 
and future generations.
    (c) Definitions.--In this Act:
            (1) Historic site.--The term ``historic site'' means the 
        Homestead Steel Works National Historic Site established by 
        section 3.
            (2) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
        of the Interior.
