Summary
Provides for the preservation of historical and archeological data. Extends coverage to all Federal and federally assisted or licensed programs which alter the terrain and potentially cause loss of scientific, prehistorical, historical or archeological data. Directs Federal agencies to notify the Secretary of the Interior if in their operations archeological or other scientific data are revealed or threatened. Provides that the Secretary of the Interior, upon notification by any responsible authority that a Federal program is threatening, damaging, or destroying such data, may evaluate (after reasonable notice to the responsible agency) the situation and cause a survey or other investigation to be made to the extent necessary to protect the public interest. Directs Federal agencies whose programs are causing damage or destruction of scientific, prehistorical, historical, or archeological data to transfer to the Secretary of the Interior a small portion of the program funds to protect or recover such data prior to its loss. Provides additional Federal funding activities to recover data on archeological programs affected by any Federal activity. Authorizes necessary appropriations to carry out the purposes of this Act.
