                                        services is incurred by the
                                        Administrator.

                    cost of any equipment purchased for the Senate or the
                    House of Representatives with money from the Fund. The
                    amount of each periodic reimbursement shall be computed
                    by amortizing the total cost of each item of equipment

                    the Administrator, in consultation with the Sergeant at
                    Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate or the Chief
                    Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives,

                    of each fiscal year, after making provision for a
                    sufficient level of inventory of personal property to
                    meet the needs of Federal agencies, the replacement cost
                    of motor vehicles, and other anticipated operating needs
                    reflected in the cost and capital plan developed under
                    subsection (b), the uncommitted balance of any funds
                    remaining in the Fund shall be transferred to the
                    general fund of the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.

                commemorative work in the District of Columbia and its
                environs, the Secretary of the Interior or Administrator of
                General Services, as appropriate, shall determine that--
                                (1) the site and design have been approved
                            by the Secretary or Administrator, the National
                            Capital Planning Commission and the Commission
                            of Fine Arts;
                                (2) knowledgeable individuals qualified in
                            the field of preservation and maintenance have
                            been consulted to determine structural soundness
                            and durability of the commemorative work and to
                            ensure that the commemorative work meets high
                            professional standards;
                                (3) the sponsor authorized to construct the
                            commemorative work has submitted contract
                            documents for construction of the commemorative
                            work to the Secretary or Administrator; and
                                (4) the sponsor authorized to construct the
                            commemorative work has available sufficient
                            amounts to complete construction of the project.
                (b) Donation for Perpetual Maintenance and Preservation
                    (1) In addition to the criteria described in subsection
                (a), no construction permit shall be issued unless the
                sponsor authorized to construct the commemorative work has
                donated an amount equal to 10 percent of the total estimated
                cost of construction to offset the costs of perpetual
                maintenance and preservation of the commemorative work. All
                such amounts shall be available for those purposes pursuant
                to the provisions of this subsection. The provisions of this
                subsection shall not apply in instances when the
                commemorative work is constructed by a Department or agency
                of the Federal Government and less than 50 percent of the
                funding for such work is provided by private sources.
                    (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, money on
                deposit in the Treasury on the date of enactment of the
                Commemorative Works Clarification and Revision Act of 2003
                provided by a sponsor for maintenance pursuant to this
                subsection shall be credited to a separate account in the
                Treasury.
                    (3) Money provided by a sponsor pursuant to the
                provisions of this subsection after the date of enactment of
                the Commemorative Works Clarification and Revision Act of
                2003 shall be credited to a separate account with the
                National Park Foundation.
                    (4) Upon request of the Secretary or Administrator (as
                appropriate), the Secretary of the Treasury or the National
                Park Foundation shall make all or a portion of such moneys
                available to the Secretary or

    [[Page 1077]]

                the Administrator (as appropriate) for the maintenance of a
                commemorative work. Under no circumstances may the Secretary
                or Administrator request funds from a separate account
                exceeding the total money in the account established under
                paragraph (2) or (3). The Secretary and the Administrator
                shall maintain an inventory of funds available for such
                purposes. Funds provided under this paragraph shall be
                available without further appropriation and shall remain
                available until expended.
                (c) Suspension for Misrepresentation in Fundraising
                    The Secretary of the Interior or Administrator may
                suspend any activity under this chapter that relates to the
                establishment of a commemorative work if the Secretary or
                Administrator determines that fundraising efforts relating
                to the work have misrepresented an affiliation with the work
                or the Federal Government.
                (d) Annual Report
                    The person authorized to construct a commemorative work

                Interior or Administrator an annual report of operations,
                including financial statements audited by an independent
                certified public accountant. The person shall pay for the
                report. (Pub.L. 99-652, Sec. 8, Nov. 14, 1986, 100 Stat.

                (a) Criterion for designation
                    If the Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with
                the National Capital Memorial Commission, determines that a
                site where commemorative works may be displayed on a
                temporary basis is necessary to aid in the preservation of
                the limited amount of open space available to residents of,
                and visitors to, the Nation's Capital, a site may be
                designated on land the Secretary administers in the District
                of Columbia.
                (b) Plan
                    A designation may be made under subsection (a) only if,
                at least 120 days before the designation, the Secretary, in
                consultation with the Commission, prepares and submits to
                Congress a plan for the site. The plan shall include
                specifications for the location, construction, and
                administration of the site and criteria for displaying
                commemorative works at the site.
                (c) Risk and agreement to indemnify
                    A commemorative work displayed at the site shall be
                installed, maintained, and removed at the sole expense and
                risk of the person authorized to display the work. The
                person shall agree to indemnify the United States for any
                liability arising from the display of the commemorative work
                under this section. (Pub.L. 103-321, Sec. 2(f), Aug. 26,

                as appropriate, may recommend the location of a
                commemorative work in Area I only if the Secretary or
                Administrator decides that the subject of the commemorative
                work is of preeminent historical and lasting significance to
                the United States. The Secretary or Administrator shall
                notify the Commission, the Committee on House Administration
                of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Energy
                and Natural Resources of the Senate of the recommendation
                that a commemorative work should be located in Area I. The
                location of a commemorative work in Area I is deemed to be
                authorized only if the recommendation is approved by law not
                later than 150 calendar days after the notification.
                    (2) Area II.--Commemorative works of subjects of lasting
                historical significance to the American people may be
