Notice of Boundary Revision: Catoctin Mountain Park

AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notification of Boundary Revision.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the boundary of Catoctin Mountain 
Park in Frederick County, Maryland is modified to include one tract of 
land adjacent to the park. This revision is made to include privately 
owned property that the National Park Service wishes to acquire. The 
National Park Service has determined that inclusion of the tract within 
the park's boundary will make significant contributions to the purposes 
for which the park was established. After the United States' 
acquisition of the tract, the National Park Service will manage the 
property in accordance with applicable law.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: National Park Service, Mel Poole, 
Superintendent, Catoctin Mountain Park, 6602 Foxville Road, Thurmont, 
Maryland 21788-1598.

DATES: The effective date of this boundary revision is the date of 
publication in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 7496, dated November 14, 
1936, transferred all the real property acquired by the former 
Resettlement Administration, which included the former Catoctin 
Recreational Demonstration Area, to the Secretary of the Interior 
(Secretary), and authorized the Secretary, through the National Park 
Service, to administer the projects transferred by the aforementioned 
Executive Order. Section 7(c) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund 
Act, as amended, authorizes minor boundary revisions to areas within 
the National Park System after advising the House Committee on Natural 
Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of 
the proposed boundary amendment. The Committees were notified July 8, 
2009. This action will add one tract comprising 63.8 acres of land, 
more or less, to Catoctin Mountain Park. The acquisition of this tract 
is intended to enhance the park's natural and ecological integrity and 
provide for greater recreational opportunities. The tract is identified 
as Parcels 96 and 243 on Frederick County, Maryland, Tax Map 6. The 
referenced tract is depicted on Catoctin Mountain Park land acquisition 
status map segment 01, having drawing number 841/92,001. This map is on 
file at the National Park Service, Land Resources Program Center, 
National Capital Region, and at the Office of the Superintendent, 
Catoctin Mountain Park.
