Amache National Historic Site

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: As authorized by the Amache National Historic Site Act, the 
National Park Service announces that the Secretary of the Interior has 
established, in the State of Colorado, the Amache National Historic 
Site as a unit of the National Park System.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Carlstrom, Deputy Regional 
Director, NPS, Intermountain Region at 720-616-9266.

ADDRESSES: A color version and more detailed area maps depicting the 
boundary are available here: https://www.nps.gov/amch/planyourvisit/maps.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 18, 2022, President Biden signed 
into law Public Law 117-106, which provides for the designation of the 
Granada Relocation Center in Prowers County, Colorado, as Amache 
National Historic Site. Amache was one of 10 incarceration camps 
established by the War Relocation Authority during World War II (WWII) 
to unjustly incarcerate Japanese Americans who were forcibly removed 
from their communities on the West Coast under the provisions of 
Executive Order 9066.
    The statute provides that Amache National Historic Site shall be 
established as a unit of the National Park System once the Secretary 
determines that a sufficient quantity of land, or interests in land, 
has been acquired to constitute a manageable park unit, and that the 
Secretary must publish notice of such establishment in the Federal 
Register.
    The National Park Service has acquired 410 acres within the 
proposed historic site boundary, encompassing the core of the former 
built-up area of Amache. On February 9, 2024, the Secretary of the 
Interior signed a Decision Memorandum determining that a sufficient 
quantity of land, or interests in land, had been acquired to constitute 
a manageable park unit. With the signing of this Decision Memorandum by 
the Secretary and the publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register, Amache National Historic Site is established.

Charles F. Sams III,
Director, National Park Service.
