DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Boundary Revision, Proposed Land Exchange, and Opportunity for
Public Comment, Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo Unit, San
Antonio Missions National Historical Park
DATES: The effective date of this Order shall be the date of the
Federal Register publication in which this Order appears.
SUMMARY: Title II, section 201 of the Act of November 10, 1978, Public
Law 95-629, 92 Stat. 3636, codified as amended at 16 U.S.C. 410ee
(1994), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior, after advising the
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate
and the Committee on Natural Resources of the United States House of
Representatives, in writing, to make minor revisions to the boundaries
of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (hereinafter SAAN)
when necessary by publication of a revised drawing or other boundary
description in the Federal Register. That statute also authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to acquire by donation, purchase with donated
or appropriated funds, or exchange, lands and interests therein
constituting the area generally described as Mission San Jose y San
Miguel de Aguayo and such lands and interests therein which the
Secretary determines are necessary or desirable to provide for public
access to, and interpretation and protection of, Mission San Jose y San
Miguel de Aguayo.
The boundary revision would add to the park boundary a 0.02-acre
parcel of land known as SAAN Tract 102-18, owned by L & H Packing Co.
of San Antonio, Texas. The National Park Service then proposes to
exchange a 0.02-acre parcel of land known as SAAN Tract 102-19, which
is located outside the park boundaries for said SAAN Tract 102-18. The
boundary revision and exchange are required to provide safe access to
the Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo Unit of SAAN by enlarging
the view area for vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the intersection
on New Napier Avenue and San Jose Drive.
Appraisals have been completed and approved on all the tracts
involved in the exchange. Both parties have determined that the lands
and interests therein to be exchanged are of equal value.
Tract 102-18 and Tract 102-19 are depicted on SAAN land acquisition
status map segment 102, drawing number 472/80,026-D, prepared by Land
Resources Program Center, Intermountain Region. This map is on file and
available for inspection in the office of the National Park Service,
Land Resources Program Center, Intermountain Region and the Office of
the Superintendent, San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
Notice is hereby given that the boundary of the San Antonio
Missions National Historical Park has been revised pursuant to the
above cited statute, to include the lands depicted as Tract 102-18 on
said map having drawing number 472/80,026-D.
COMMENTS AND FURTHER INFORMATION: The comment period on the proposed
exchange ends 45 days from the date of this publication. Information
may be obtained from or comments pertaining to this exchange should be
addressed to the Superintendent, San Antonio Missions National
Historical Park, 2202 Roosevelt Avenue, San Antonio, Texas 78210-4919.
Dated: June 7, 1999.
John E. Cook,
Regional Director, Intermountain Region, National Park Service.
