 To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to expand the boundary of 
 the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, to conduct a study 
        of potential land acquisitions, and for other purposes.


 


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

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``San Antonio Missions National 
Historical Park Boundary Expansion Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is 
        important to understanding the history and development of the 
        City of San Antonio, Bexar County, the State of Texas, and the 
        United States;
            (2) understanding the connection between the San Antonio 
        River and the San Antonio Missions is critical to understanding 
        mission life in colonial Texas; and
            (3) the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park 
        enjoys the strong support of the City of San Antonio, Bexar 
        County, and their citizens and businesses.

SEC. 3. BOUNDARY EXPANSION.

    Section 201(a) of Public Law 95-629 (16 U.S.C. 410ee(a)) is 
amended--
            (1) by striking ``In order'' and inserting ``(1) In 
        order'';
            (2) by striking ``The park shall also'' and inserting:
    ``(2) The park shall also'';
            (3) by striking ``After advising the'' and inserting:
    ``(5) After advising the''; and
            (4) by inserting after paragraph (2) (as so designated by 
        paragraph (2) above) the following:
    ``(3) The boundary of the park is further modified to include 
approximately 151 acres, as depicted on the map titled `San Antonio 
Missions National Historical Park Proposed Boundary Addition 2009', 
numbered 472/468,027, and dated November 2009. The map shall be on file 
and available for inspection in the appropriate offices of the National 
Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
    ``(4) The Secretary may not acquire by condemnation any land or 
interest in land within the boundaries of the park. The Secretary is 
authorized to acquire land and interests in land that are within the 
boundaries of the park pursuant to paragraph (3) by donation only. No 
private property or non-Federal public property shall be included 
within the boundaries of the park without the written consent of the 
owner of such property. Nothing in this Act, the establishment of park, 
or the management plan of the park shall be construed create buffer 
zones outside of the park. That an activity or use can be seen or heard 
from within the park shall not preclude the conduct of that activity or 
use outside the park.''.
