Pershing Park in the District of Columbia is hereby redesignated as the National World War I Memorial . The Commission may plan, develop, and execute ceremonies for the rededication of Pershing Park, as it approaches its 50th anniversary, as the National World War I Memorial and for the enhancement of the General Pershing Commemorative Work as authorized by subsection (c). The Commission may enhance the General Pershing Commemorative Work by constructing on the land designated by subsection
(a)as the National World War I Memorial appropriate sculptural and other commemorative elements, including landscaping, to further honor the service of members of the United States Armed Forces in World War I. The term General Pershing Commemorative Work means the memorial to the late John J. Pershing, General of the Armies of the United States, who commanded the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, and to the officers and men under his command, as authorized by Public Law 89–786 (80 Stat. 1377). Except as provided in paragraph (2), chapter 89 of title 40, United States Code, applies to the enhancement of the General Pershing Commemorative Work under subsection (c). Section 8905 of such title does not apply with respect to the selection of the site for the National World War I Memorial. Section 8908(b) of such title does not apply to this subtitle. The National World War I Memorial may not interfere with or encroach on the District of Columbia War Memorial. If, upon payment of all expenses for the enhancement of the General Pershing Commemorative Work under subsection
(c)(including the maintenance and preservation amount required by section 8906(b)(1) of title 40, United States Code), there remains a balance of funds received for such purpose, the Commission may use the amount of the balance for other commemorative activities authorized under the World War I Centennial Commission Act (Public Law 112–272; 126 Stat. 2448). If the authority for enhancement of the General Pershing Commemorative Work and the authority of the Commission to plan and conduct commemorative activities under the World War I Centennial Commission Act have expired and there remains a balance of funds received for the enhancement of the General Pershing Commemorative Work, the Commission shall transmit the amount of the balance to a separate account with the National Park Foundation, to be available to the Secretary of the Interior following the process provided in section 8906(b)(4) of title 40, United States Code, for accounts established under section 8906(b)(3) of such title, except that funds in such account may only be obligated subject to appropriation. Section 8 of the World War I Centennial Commission Act ( Public Law 112–272 ) is amended— in subsection (a), by striking The Centennial Commission and inserting Except as provided in subsection (c), the Centennial Commission ; and by adding at the end the following new subsection: The Centennial Commission may perform such work as is necessary to complete the rededication of the National World War I Memorial and enhancement of the General Pershing Commemorative Work under section 1093 of the World War I Memorial Act of 2014, subject to section 8903 of title 40, United States Code. .
