                                 A BILL


 
 To direct the Secretary of the Interior to make technical corrections 
       to a map relating to the Coastal Barrier Resources System.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Coastal Barrier Resources System unit FL-35P was 
        designated by the Coastal Barrier Improvement Act of 1990 
        (Public Law 101-591) to include Florida State conservation land 
        within the Coastal Barrier Resources System.
            (2) Unit FL-35P is an ``otherwise protected area'', a 
        designation that was intended to include lands held for 
        conservation purposes.
            (3) The boundary of unit FL-35P runs through a portion of 
        the Ocean Reef Harbor Course South development, which was in 
        existence at the time of the 1990 Act.
            (4) At the time unit FL-35P was designated, nine residences 
        were located in the portion of that development that was 
        included within the boundaries of the unit.
            (5) The 11.7 acres comprising that portion are not held for 
        conservation purposes, and are not an inholding within 
        conservation lands.
            (6) The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has 
        received certificates of occupancy and corresponding plat maps 
        from Monroe County, Florida, verifying that a portion of unit 
        FL-35P was developed at the time and therefore the portion 
        referred to in paragraph (5) was mistakenly included in the 
        Coastal Barrier Resources System.
            (7) Modification of the boundary of unit FL-35P to exclude 
        the 11.7-acre parcel referred to in paragraph (5) would 
        constitute a valid technical correction.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to make a technical 
correction to unit FL-35P of the Coastal Barrier Resources System to 
exclude from that unit the 11.7 acre parcel of developed property that 
was mistakenly included in the unit.

SEC. 2. CORRECTIONS TO MAP.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of the Interior shall, before the 
end of the 30-day period beginning on the date of the enactment of this 
Act, make such corrections to the map described in subsection (b) as 
are necessary to ensure that depictions of areas on the map are 
consistent with the depictions of areas appearing on the map entitled 
``Amendments to the Coastal Barrier Resources System'', dated ____, and 
on file with the Secretary.
    (b) Map Described.--The map described in this subsection is the map 
that--
            (1) is included in a set of maps entitled ``Coastal Barrier 
        Resources System'', dated October 24, 1990; and
            (2) relates to unit FL-35P of the Coastal Barrier Resources 
        System.
