Notice of Realty Action; California

    Notice of Realty Action for Minor Boundary Revision and Proposed 
Exchange of Federally-owned land for Privately-owned land in Marin 
County, California.
    In order to resolve the minor and unintentional encroachment of a 
private residence on Federal land, it is necessary for the National 
Park Service to effect a minor boundary revision and land exchange at 
Point Reyes National Seashore. The park boundary will be revised to 
include a 0.12 acre parcel of land adjacent to the boundary and delete 
a 0.10 acre parcel of land within the boundary. Upon approval of the 
boundary revision, the National Park Service will acquire the 0.12 acre 
parcel and convey the 0.10 acre encroachment parcel to the private 
landowner. The subject properties are located on Blackberry Lane, 
Inverness, Marin County, California.
    The authority for the minor boundary revision is Section 318 (a) of 
Public Law 95-625, approved November 10, 1978; 16 U.S.C. 459c-1(a). The 
authority for the land exchange is Section 3 (a) of Public Law 87-657, 
approved September 13, 1962, 16 USC 459c-2.
    The National Park Service has determined that there will be no 
adverse impacts as a consequence of the exchange. The value of the 
lands to be exchanged are of equal value. Each site was surveyed for 
the presence of hazardous substances and none were found. The mineral 
rights of both properties will be conveyed.
    The land to be conveyed by the United States of America and deleted 
from the boundary is identified as Tract No. P13-130. Title to the land 
will be conveyed subject to title encumbrances of record as well as 
existing easements

for public roads and highways, public utilities and pipelines.
    The private land to be included in the boundary and acquired for 
Point Reyes National Seashore is owned by Sherburne and Susan Slack and 
is identified as Tract No. P13-132. The land will be administered by 
the National Park Service as part of the Point Reyes National Seashore. 
The land will be acquired in fee simple with no reservations and 
subject only to rights of way and easements of record.
    Detailed information concerning the boundary revision and land 
exchange including legal descriptions, map, Land Protection Plan and 
Categorical Exclusion are available at the National Park Service, 600 
Harrison Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, California 94107. The lands 
which are the subject of this notice are identified on Boundary 
Proposal Map, Drawing No. 612/80,034, dated May 1997.
    For a period of 45 calendar days from the date of this notice, 
interested parties may submit comments regarding the exchange proposal 
to the above address. Adverse comments will be evaluated and this 
action may be modified or vacated accordingly. In the absence of any 
action to modify or vacate, this realty action will become the final 
determination of the Department of the Interior.

    Dated: July 9, 1997.
