    16 U.S.C. 460o-2(b) states that the Secretary of the Interior may 
make adjustments in the boundary of Delaware Water Gap National 
Recreation Area by publication of the amended description thereof in 
the Federal Register: provided, that the area encompassed by such 
revised boundary shall not exceed the acreage included within the 
detailed boundary first described in the Federal Register on June 7, 
1977 (Vol. 42, No. 109, pp 29071-29103). This boundary adjustment does

Conservation Fund owns or holds an option for these properties and will

Susquehanna-Roseland electric transmission line across approximately 
4.3 miles of the National Recreation Area.
