SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The boundary for the Barataria Preserve Unit 
of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve was established 
through congressional legislative action in 1978. During the 
intervening years there have been significant changes in land uses 
along this area not currently part of the park that could merit 
inclusion. The analysis in the Draft Barataria Boundary Study will 
provide objective information for consideration in any future action by 
the Department of Interior or the U.S. Congress to revise the park's 
original legislative boundary.

    Dated: March 21, 1996.
Frank Catroppa,
Superintendent, Gulf Coast System Support Office.
