§460u–19 Acquisition of land outside present boundaries; notice to Congressional committees; publication in Federal Register

Summary

The Secretary may accept title to lands or land interests just outside the park if those lands touch the park (or lands already added this way) and if the Secretary finds they would make an important contribution to the park’s purposes. The lands may be offered as donations by the State of Indiana, its local governments, private people, organizations, or corporations. Before taking the land, the Secretary must notify in writing the Congressional Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs of the plan and the reasons. After accepting the land, the Secretary must publish a notice in the Federal Register and manage the land as part of the park.
