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

<DELETED>SECTION 1. REVISION OF COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCE SYSTEM 
              MAP.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) the Department of the Interior published a 
        notice in the Federal Register on March 4, 1985, specifying the 
        criteria for including undeveloped property in the Coastal 
        Barrier Resources System (referred to in this Act as the 
        ``System'');</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) the notice--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) expands and elaborates on the criteria 
                used to delineate coastal barriers originally published 
                in the Federal Register on August 16, 1982; 
                and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) specifies that candidate properties 
                are to be excluded from the System if the properties 
                are developed with a full complement of infrastructure 
                servicing each lot or building site;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) the Coastal Barrier Improvement Act of 1990 
        (Public Law 101-591) designated unit FL-35 in North Key Largo, 
        Florida, as part of the Coastal Barrier Resources 
        System;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) Unit FL-35 included Pumpkin Key, a 25-acre 
        island that, at the time of its inclusion in the System, was 
        developed with a full complement of infrastructure, many 
        structures, and a 20-slip multiresidential docking 
        facility;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) the United States Fish and Wildlife Service 
        has reviewed signed, sworn affidavits and as-built engineering 
        drawings attesting to the presence on Pumpkin Key of 
        electricity, water, and wastewater disposal capacity for every 
        building lot on the island, and a paved intra-island cart path 
        network exceeding 2 miles in length;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) the utilities are provided to Pumpkin Key by a 
        subaqueous utility line emanating from the Ocean Reef 
        development in North Key Largo;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) the United States Fish and Wildlife Service 
        has stated that the information referred to in paragraph (5) 
        was not available to the Service when the Service recommended 
        Pumpkin Key for inclusion in the System in a 1988 report to 
        Congress; and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (8) based on its review of the information 
        referred to in paragraph (5), the United States Fish and 
        Wildlife Service has affirmed that Pumpkin Key had a full 
        complement of infrastructure at the time of its inclusion in 
        the System and that exclusion of Pumpkin Key from the System 
        constitutes a valid technical correction that the Service and 
        the Department of the Interior can support.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Correction of Map.--Not later than 30 days after the 
date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall 
revise the map depicting unit FL-35 of the Coastal Barrier Resources 
System to exclude Pumpkin Key from the System.</DELETED>

SECTION 1. CORRECTION OF 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 exclude 
Pumpkin Key from the Coastal Barrier Resources System.
    (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-35 of the Coastal Barrier Resources 
        System.
