The three iconic national symbols will be at least temporarily reopened after the states of Arizona, New York and South Dakota each agreed to pay the National Park Service six figures to manage the sites after they were shuttered to visitors because of the government shutdown.

New York is donating $369,300 to have park service employees reopen the statue to visitors and manage it starting Saturday through Oct. 17, the Interior Department announced.

Arizona is ponying up $651,000 to have the Grand Canyon National Park open for tourism for a week starting Saturday.

And South Dakota is giving $152,000 to have Mount Rushmore National Memorial open for 10 days starting on Monday, Columbus.

“This is a practical and temporary solution that will lessen the pain for some businesses and communities in New York during this shutdown,” Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said. She made nearly identical statement regarding the deals with Arizona and South Dakota.

The deals were the third, fourth and fifth the department announced so far with states Friday to start reopening at least some of the more than 400 national parks, monuments and other public sites closed by the government shutdown.

Interior also reached a deal with Utah to open up eight sites there for 10 days — including Arches, Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks and Natural Bridges National Monument — at a price tag to the state of $1,665,720.80.

Colorado has also agreed to donate $362,700 to have the park service reopen and manage Rocky Mountain National Park for 10 days.

But it wasn’t until late Friday that the department started announcing three of the most famous of the public landmarks that had their doors closed.

House Republicans have mocked the department’s piecemeal negotiations with states to reopen the parks and monuments, just as congressional Democrats and the White House have opposed most GOP attempts to pass piecemeal funding bills during the shutdown.

“Why now, after more than a week of refusing to allow states to pay to keep national parks open, is the Obama administration suddenly reversing course?” House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) asked in a statement Thursday.

His panel and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are holding a joint hearing Wednesday on the Obama administration’s decision to close off open-air monuments in and around Washington, DC. Hastings — in letters sent Friday to the heads of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Forest Service — has also hinted at future oversight hearings looking at the closing of other public land during the shutdown.

Democrats and the White House have argued that Republicans need to agree to reopen all of the federal government.

That’s the same stance as Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, who told the Helena Independent Record on Thursday that he won’t allow national parks in his state to be reopened if the state has to foot the bill.
