                                 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.--Congress finds that--
            (1) Coastal Barrier Resources System unit FL-35P was 
        designated under 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 land 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 on the date of enactment of the 1990 Act;
            (4) at the time unit FL-35P was designated, 9 residences 
        were located in the portion of the 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 land;
            (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, and accordingly that the portion referred 
        to in paragraph (5) was mistakenly included in the Coastal 
        Barrier Resources System; and
            (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 the unit the 11.7-acre parcel of developed property that 
was mistakenly included in the unit.

SEC. 2. CORRECTIONS TO MAP.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall 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 August 31, 1998, 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.
