Common use of Other Measures Clause in Contracts

Other Measures. DoD recognizes the importance of a permanent CNMI curation facility on Saipan and a cultural and interpretive center on Tinian to display artifacts recovered from sites on Tinian.

Such a facility would provide a critically needed repository for archaeological collections and related information on historic properties that can highlight and educate the public on cultural resources. b. $500,000 to support new construction or renovation of an existing building as selected by the Mayor of Tinian for use as a cultural and interpretive center on Tinian. This type of facility would provide a valuable opportunity to interpret information on historic properties and serve to highlight and educate the public on Tinian’s history. c. Should Congress not authorize such appropriations or transfer of authority, within thirty (30) days of receiving confirmation that the appropriation has not been authorized DoD will reinitiate discussions with the parties to this PA to address mitigation of cumulative effects.
