This bill, known as the Finger Lakes National Heritage Area Act, amends existing law to officially establish the Finger Lakes National Heritage Area in New York as a new component of the National Heritage Area System. This designation encompasses fourteen specific counties, including Cayuga, Chemung, and Ontario, recognizing their significant natural, cultural, and historical resources. The legislation designates the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance as the local coordinating entity responsible for managing the area. This entity is mandated to submit a comprehensive management plan to the Secretary of the Interior for approval within three years of the bill's enactment. Furthermore, the authority for the Secretary of the Interior to provide federal assistance to the Finger Lakes National Heritage Area will terminate 15 years after the bill becomes law.
