                                    Administrator; or

                                    liability for personal property or 
                                    services is incurred by the 
                                    Administrator.

            (e) Reimbursement for equipment purchased for Congress.--The 
                Administrator may accept periodic reimbursement from the 
                Senate and from the House of Representatives for the 
                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 
                over the useful life of the equipment, as determined by 
                the Administrator, in consultation with the Sergeant at

                Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives, 
                as appropriate.

                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.
            (g) Audits.--The Comptroller General shall audit the Fund in 
                accordance with the provisions of chapter 35 of title 31

                        with the National Capital Memorial Advisory

            by, but not limited by, the following criteria:
                            (1) Surroundings.--To the maximum extent 
                        possible, a commemorative work shall be located 
                        in surroundings that are relevant to the subject

                            and

                                (B) to the maximum extent practicable, 
                            it protects open space, existing public use, 
                            and cultural and natural resources.

                            (3) Material.--A commemorative work shall be 
                        constructed of durable material suitable to the 
                        outdoor environment.
                            (4) Landscape features.--Landscape features 
                        of commemorative works shall be compatible with 
                        the climate.
                            (5) Museums.--No commemorative work 
                        primarily designed as a museum may be located on

                        Capital Planning Commission and the Commission 
                        of Fine Arts may develop such criteria or 
                        guidelines specific to each site that are 
                        mutually agreed upon

            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

                        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.

            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

            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

            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 
            under this chapter must submit to the Secretary of the 
            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.

      1523  Sec. 8907. Temporary site designation.
            (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, 
            1994, 108 Stat. 1795; Pub.L. 107-271, Sec. 1, Aug. 21, 2002,

      1524  Sec. 8908. Areas I and II.
            (a) Availability of map
                The Secretary of the Interior or the Administrator of 
            General Services (as appropriate) shall make available, for 
            public inspection at appro

            Services Administration, the map entitled ``Commemorative 
            Areas, Washington, D.C. and Environs,'' numbered 869/86501B, 
            and dated June 24, 2003.
            (b) Specific conditions applicable to Area I and Area II
                (1) Area I.--After seeking the advice of the National 
            Capital Memorial Commission, the Secretary or Administrator, 
            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
