AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Revision of Lakeshore
Boundary.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Act of October 18, 1976, 90 Stat. 2532, 2533, 16 U.S.C. 460 u-
19, following notice to Congress as provided therein, which has been
satisfied, authorizes the United States to accept title to any lands,
or interests in lands, located outside the boundaries of the Lakeshore
which any private person, organization, or public or private
corporation may offer to donate to the United States, if the Secretary
finds that such lands would make a significant contribution to the
purposes for which the Lakeshore was established; and he shall
administer such lands as part of the Lakeshore following this
publication. Landsource, Inc. on behalf of Midwest Division of National
Steel Corporation, has offered to donate 51.47 acres of land for
incorporation into the Lakeshore. The tract of land being donated is in
Porter County, Indiana. The lands are principally composed of oak
savannah of a similar composition to the Inland Marsh unit of the
Lakeshore which it adjoins. It includes significant habitat for the
federally listed endangered Karner Blue Butterfly. The tract also
affords recreational opportunities for the visiting public. It is
considered that the recreational opportunities offered by this
property, along with the biological resources on this 51.47 acres, will
make a significant contribution to the Lakeshore. The specific lands
proposed for addition are described as follows:

West, Second Principal Meridian, Porter County, Indiana, described
as follows:
Parcel 1

conveyed to the United States of America by deed dated August 7,
1978, and recorded in Deed Record 312, Page 455, in the office of
the Recorder of Porter County, Indiana, containing 25.06 acres, more
or less.
Parcel 2
That part of the Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of
Section 3, Township 36 North, Range 7 West, of the Second Principal
Meridian in Porter County, Indiana, lying North of the Northern

County, Indiana, containing 26.41 acres, more or less. The above
described tract contains 51.47 acres, more or less.
Therefore, notice is hereby given that in accordance with the Act
of October 18, 1976, the boundary of the Indiana Dunes National
Lakeshore is revised as described above, and as shown on Indiana Dunes
National Lakeshore Segment Map 09. The map is on file and available for
inspection in the Office of the National Park Service, Department of
the Interior; the Office of the Midwest Region, National Park Service;
and the Office of the Superintendent, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
