(2) Acquisition by the State shall not be required under this subsection if a site located on land controlled by the Secretary or made available by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to section 106 (a)(2) is designated by the Secretary, with the concurrence of the Commission, for such disposition and stabilization.
