Summary
National Aviation Heritage Area Act - Establishes within the States of Ohio and Indiana the National Aviation Heritage Area. Directs the Area's management entity, the Aviation Heritage Foundation, Incorporated (AHFI), to develop and submit to the Secretary of the Interior a Management Plan for the Area and to assist government and nonprofits in developing the Area in specified ways. Requires the Plan to provide for the protection, enhancement, and interpretation of the natural, cultural, historic, scenic, and recreational resources of the Area. Directs the Secretary to approve or disapprove the proposed Plan and to make recommendations. Prohibits appropriated funds from being expended to implement any changes made by a substantial amendment to the Plan without the Secretary's approval. Authorizes the Secretary to provide financial or technical assistance to the Area to develop and implement the Plan upon request by the AHFI. Requires any Federal agency involved in activities affecting the Area to consult with the AHFI and the Secretary and to act in ways the AHFI determines will not have an adverse affect on the Area. Requires the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the appropriate Secretary coordinate decisions affecting the Area. Specifies the sunset of grants and assistance from the Secretary for the Area 15 years after enactment of this Act. Requires the Secretary to conduct an updated special resource study detailing alternatives for incorporating the Wright Company factory as a unit of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park.
