FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

National Park Service, Chief, Columbia Cascades Land Resources Program Center, 168 South Jackson Street, Seattle, Washington 98104, [phone].

DATES:

The effective date of this boundary revision is July 21, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

16 U.S.C. 460 l-(9)(c)(1) provides that, after notifying the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to make this boundary revision upon publication of notice in the Federal Register. The Committees have been notified of this boundary revision. Inclusion of these lands within the park boundary will enable the landowner to sell the subject land to the National Park Service. The inclusion and acquisition of this property will enable the Service to expand public visitor uses and provide for additional western trailhead opportunities for the park's “Fort to Sea Trail.” Additionally, the boundary revision will provide greater protection of sensitive resources which would be appropriately managed as a part of the national park.

Dated: July 21, 2010.

Acting Regional Director, Pacific West Region.
