additional 215.03 acres of land identified as Tract 04-116. The land is 
located at Estate Beverhourdtsberg on the Island of St. John, 
immediately adjacent to the current boundary of the Virgin Islands 
National Park. The boundary revision is depicted on Map No. 161/92,009A 
dated October 2010. The map is available for inspection at the 
following locations: National Park Service, Southeast Region Land 
Resources Program Center, 1924 Building, 100 Alabama Street, SW., 
Atlanta, Georgia 30301 and National Park Service, Department of the 
Interior, Washington, DC 20240.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: National Park Service, Chief, 
Southeast Region Land Resources Program Center, 1924 Building, 100 
Alabama Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404) 507-5664.

DATES: The effective date of this boundary revision is July 1, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 16 U.S.C. 4601-9(c)(1) provides that, after 
notifying the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, the Secretary of the 
Interior is authorized to make this boundary revision upon publication 
of notice in the Federal Register. The Committees have been notified of 
this boundary revision. The proposed boundary revision would make a 
significant contribution to the purposes for which the national park 
was established by enabling the Service to efficiently manage and 
protect significant resources similar to that already protected within 
the present park boundary. This land includes much of the upper 
watershed for the Fish Bay drainage system which ultimately drains into 
national park waters. In addition, this land contains numerous historic 
sites related to the plantation era on St. John.

    Dated: March 30, 2011.

Acting Regional Director, Southeast Region.
