The National Park Service Organic Act (or simply “the Organic Act” within the National Park Service, conservationists, etc.) is a United States federal law that established the National Park Service (NPS), an agency of the United States Department of the Interior. The Act was signed into law on August 25, 1916, by President Woodrow Wilson, and is located in Title 16 of the United States Code. 39 Stat. at L. 545. (

There is a very good reason the above citation would simply refer to the Act as merely “The Organic Act”. Where does 39 Stat. 545 have application? eyes wide open.
The National Park Service Organic Act for the Philippines
“In enacting laws for the Philippines, Congress and the Philippine legislature, to which it has delegated general legislative power, are limited only by the provisions of the fundamental law; they have all the powers, both of national and of municipal government, since there can be no conflict with the reserved power of the states.
That the requirement continued operative thereafter results from the further fact that it was re-expressed in § 658 of ‘the Administrative Code of 1917, which Code was adopted to meet the exigencies created by the later Organic Act of the Philippine Islands, enacted by Congress August 29, 1916 (39 Stat. at L. 545, ‘chap. 416, Comp. Stat. 3804a, Fed. Stat. Anno. Supp. 1918, p. 592).”
