Notice is further given that, pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 460l-9(c)(1), the 
boundary of Mojave National Preserve is modified to exclude 48.14 acres 
of improved land identified as Tract 114-05, a portion of tax parcel 
number 0544-033-09. No change in ownership will result from this 
action. The land is located in San Bernardino County, California, at 
the northwest boundary of the preserve in the unincorporated area of 
Baker. The boundary revisions are depicted on Map No. 170/115,469 dated 
October 2012. The map is available for inspection at the following 
locations: National Park Service, Land Resources Program Center, 
Pacific West Region, 333 Bush Street, Suite 500, San Francisco, 
California 94104, and National Park Service, Department of the 
Interior, Washington, DC 20240.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chief Realty Officer Greg Gress, 
National Park Service, Pacific Land Resources Program Center, 333 Bush 
Street, Suite 500, San Francisco, California 94104, telephone (415) 
623-2120.

DATES: The effective date of this boundary revision is June 14, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 16 U.S.C. 460l-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 inclusion of Tract 103-28 will enable the 
United States to accept a donation of land as compensation for a 
wastewater pipeline failure and resulting hazardous spill, and to more 
fully educate the public regarding the desert tortoise life cycle, 
threats and recovery efforts. The exclusion of Tract 114-05 will 
resolve an unauthorized land use issue and have no effect on its 
ownership or use.

     Dated: May 23, 2013.

Regional Director, Pacific West Region.
