AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Revision of Lakeshore 
Boundary.

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

    The Act of October 18, 1976, 90 Stat. 2532, 2533, 16 U.S.C. 460 u-
19, following notice to Congress as provided therein, which has been 
satisfied, authorizes the United States to accept title to any lands, 
or interests in lands, located outside the boundaries of the Lakeshore 
which any private person, organization, or public or private 
corporation may offer to donate to the United States, if the Secretary 
finds that such lands would make a significant contribution to the 
purposes for which the Lakeshore was established; and he shall 
administer such lands as part of the Lakeshore following this 
publication. Landsource, Inc. on behalf of Midwest Division of National 
Steel Corporation, has offered to donate 51.47 acres of land for 
incorporation into the Lakeshore. The tract of land being donated is in 
Porter County, Indiana. The lands are principally composed of oak 
savannah of a similar composition to the Inland Marsh unit of the 
Lakeshore which it adjoins. It includes significant habitat for the 
federally listed endangered Karner Blue Butterfly. The tract also 
affords recreational opportunities for the visiting public. It is 
considered that the recreational opportunities offered by this 
property, along with the biological resources on this 51.47 acres, will 
make a significant contribution to the Lakeshore. The specific lands 
proposed for addition are described as follows:

    A tract of land situate in Section 3, Township 36 North, Range 7 
West, Second Principal Meridian, Porter County, Indiana, described 
as follows:

Parcel 1

    That part of the Northwest Quarter of the fractional Northeast 
Quarter of Section 3, Township 36 North, Range 7 West, of the Second 
Principal Meridian, Porter County, Indiana, lying South of lands 
conveyed to the United States of America by deed dated August 7, 
1978, and recorded in Deed Record 312, Page 455, in the office of 
the Recorder of Porter County, Indiana, containing 25.06 acres, more 
or less.

Parcel 2

    That part of the Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of 
Section 3, Township 36 North, Range 7 West, of the Second Principal 
Meridian in Porter County, Indiana, lying North of the Northern 
Indiana Public Service Company power line right-of-way as shown in 
Deed Record 89, Page 256, and as amended in Deed Record 293, Page 
82, which records are in the Office of the Recorder of Porter 
County, Indiana, containing 26.41 acres, more or less. The above 
described tract contains 51.47 acres, more or less.

    Therefore, notice is hereby given that in accordance with the Act 
of October 18, 1976, the boundary of the Indiana Dunes National 
Lakeshore is revised as described above, and as shown on Indiana Dunes 
National Lakeshore Segment Map 09. The map is on file and available for 
inspection in the Office of the National Park Service, Department of 
the Interior; the Office of the Midwest Region, National Park Service; 
and the Office of the Superintendent, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
