Pecos National Historical Park; Minor Revision of Park Boundary

    Public Law 101-313 established Pecos National Historical Park on 
June 27, 1990. The March 1990 map, referenced in the legislation as 
``Pecos National Historical Park Boundary Concept'' and numbered 430/
80028 identified the area of the park as being approximately 5,865 
acres including the Forked Lightning Ranch. Section 202(b) of Public 
Law 101-313 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to make minor 
revisions in the boundary of the park in accordance with section 7(c) 
of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 460l-4 
and following).
    Since establishment of the park, the National Park Service has 
determined that the Forked Lightning Ranch actually included property 
located outside the established boundary: A 66.29-acre parcel of land 
encumbered by an easement for the old U.S. Highway 85, and an 
unencumbered 29.26 acres located west of the old highway easement. It 
was the intention of the parties involved in the expansion of the park 
to include the entire Forked Lightning Ranch property within the 
boundary. In order to facilitate improved resource protection and law 
enforcement it has been determined necessary to revise the park 
boundary to include an additional 100.55 acres. This includes the Old 
Highway 85 right-of-way (66.29 acres), the 29.26-acre parcel located 
west of the old highway, and an additional 5.00 acres owned by the 
State of New Mexico located adjacent to the old highway.
    Therefore, notice is hereby given that in accordance with the Land 
and Water Conservation Fund Act, as amended, the boundary of Pecos 
National Historical Park should be revised as described above. The 
revised boundary is depicted on a map entitled ``Boundary Map, Pecos 
National Historical Park,'' Drawing No. 430/80,043, and dated September 
1993. This map is on file and available for inspection in the Office of 
the National Park Service, Department of the Interior; the Office of 
the Southwest Region, National Park Service; and the Office of the 
Superintendent, Pecos National Historical Park.

    Dated: January 26, 1994
Mary R. Bradford,
Acting Regional Director, Southwest Region.
