Chickasaw National Recreation Area; Park Boundary

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice; correction of park boundary.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Public Law 94-235 established Chickasaw National Recreation Area on 
March 17, 1976. The legislation specified that the total acreage of the 
recreation area may not exceed 10,000 acres. On December 9, 1991, a 
notice of a change in the boundary was published in the Federal 
Register, Vol. 56, No. 236, page 64272. This notice revised the 
boundaries of the area as depicted on a map entitled ``Boundary Map, 
Chickasaw National Recreation Area,'' Drawing No. 107/80027, dated 
April 1991.
    During the process of transferring jurisdiction from the Bureau of 
Reclamation to the National Park Service in accordance with the 1965 
Memorandum of Agreement, three errors were made in mapping the original 
boundary and these errors were perpetuated in subsequent mapping. The 
three areas requiring correction are described as follows:
    Boundary Area ``A'' is located in the NW\1/4\ of section 6, 
Township 1 South, Range 3 East, Indian Meridian, Murray County, 
Oklahoma. The original boundary is revised so as to exclude 41.16 acres 
which were never acquired by the Bureau of Reclamation from H.H. Thomas 
or C.W. Purtle. This parcel was never intended to be a part of the 
Arbuckle Reservoir Project according to the Memorandum of Agreement and 
the deed records for the project.
    Boundary Area''B-1'' is located in the NE\1/4\ of section 6, 
Township 1 South, Range 3 East, Indian Meridian, Murray County, 
Oklahoma. The original boundary is revised so as to delete 10.10 acres 
that were conveyed to Glenn Haines by the United States of America, as 
recorded on May 27, 1966, in Book 159, page 619, of the deed records of 
Murray County, Oklahoma.
    Boundary Area ``B-2'' is located in the NE\1/4\ of section 6, 
Township 1 South, Range 3 East, Indian Meridian, Murray County, 
Oklahoma. The original boundary is revised so as to include 10.00 acres 
that were conveyed to the United States of America by Glenn Haines and 
Janetta Haines, as recorded on May 27, 1966, in Book 159, page 617, of 
the deed records of Murray County, Oklahoma.
    In summary, one change will add 10.00 acres and 2 changes will 
delete 51.26 acres, creating a net decrease of 41.26 acres. With these 
corrections made to the recreation area boundary, the current total 
acreage is 9,888.83. The authority for implementing this action is 
Public Law 94-235 (90 Stat. 235.)
    Therefore, notice is hereby given that the boundary of Chickasaw 
National Recreation Area should be revised as described above and 
delineated on a map entitled ``Boundary Map, Chickasaw National 
Recreation Area,'' numbered 107/80,030 and dated January 1993. This map 
is on file and available for inspection in the Office of the National 
Park Service, Department of the Interior, the Office of the Southwest 
Region, National Park Service, and the Office of the Superintendent, 
Chickasaw National Recreation Area.

    Dated: September 23, 1993.
John E. Cook,
Regional Director, Southwest Region.
