Notice of Boundary Revision: Piscataway Park

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the National Park Service is 
revising the boundary of Piscataway Park to include one additional 
tract of land.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph A. Cook, Chief, Land Resources 
Program Center, National Capital Region, National Park Service, 1100 
Ohio Drive, SW., Washington, D.C. 20242, (202) 619-7034; and John Hale, 
Superintendent, National Capital Parks--East, Piscataway Park, 1900 
Anacostia Drive, SW., Washington, D.C. 20020, (202) 690-5185.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Law 87-362 enacted October 4, 1961, 
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire lands and interests 
therein for Piscataway Park. Section 7(c)(ii) of the Land and Water 
Conservation Fund Act, as amended by Section 814(b) of Public Law 104-
333, authorizes minor boundary revisions of areas within the National 
Park System. Such boundary revisions may be made, when necessary, after 
advising the appropriate congressional committees, and following 
publication of a revised boundary map, drawing or other boundary 
description in the Federal Register. In order to preserve lands which 
comprise the principal viewshed from Mount Vernon and Fort Washington 
in a manner that will ensure, insofar as practicable, the natural 
beauty of such lands as it existed at the construction and active use 
of the Mount Vernon Mansion and Fort Washington, it is necessary to 
revise the existing boundary of Piscataway Park to include one 
additional tract of land comprising approximately 45 acres. The 
property is being acquired by donation.
    Notice is hereby given that the exterior boundary of Piscataway 
Park is revised to include all that tract, piece, parcel or subdivision 
of land and premises, situated, lying and being in the Seventh Election 
District of Charles County, Maryland, and more particularly described 
as follows:
    Beginning at a stake now fixed at a point on the south side of an 
extension of a 30 foot roadway lying between Lots 9 and 10 of Block 
``B'' a subdivision of a part of the said William C. Gibons land ``Part 
of Marshall Hall,'' the said stake being more particularly fixed 990 
feet north 64 degrees 13 minutes east of the intersection of the south 
side of the said 30 foot roadway with the east side of the State Road 
leading from Bryans Road Post Office to Marshall Hall, and running 
thence in direct extension of the said 30 foot roadway north 64 degrees 
13 minutes east 1482 feet to the intersection with the boundary line or
