Title 16 › CHAPTER 1 — NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › SUBCHAPTER LIX–A — LOWELL NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK › Part A — Establishment of Park and Preservation District › § 410cc–11
Creates the Lowell National Historical Park in Lowell, Massachusetts, and a nearby Lowell Historic Preservation District. The park and district are run by the Secretary and a Commission. Their limits are the lines shown on the map titled “Lowell National Historical Park, Massachusetts,” dated March 1978, numbered Lowe—80,008A, which is kept at the National Park Service and at the Lowell city clerk’s office. The Secretary must publish a detailed boundary description and map in the Federal Register as soon as practicable after June 5, 1978. The park boundaries were later changed to add five parcels shown on the map “Boundary Adjustment, Lowell National Historical Park,” numbered 475/81,424B, dated September 2004, and listed in section 410cc–22(a)(2)(G). The Secretary may make small boundary changes after consulting the Commission and the Lowell city manager and by publishing the revised drawing or description in the Federal Register. No land outside the original boundaries may be added without the consent of the Lowell city manager and the Lowell city council. Any boundary change only becomes effective after timely written notice is given to Congress.
