Boundary Revision, Proposed Land Exchange, and Opportunity for 
Public Comment, Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo Unit, San 
Antonio Missions National Historical Park

DATES: The effective date of this Order shall be the date of the 
Federal Register publication in which this Order appears.

SUMMARY: Title II, section 201 of the Act of November 10, 1978, Public 
Law 95-629, 92 Stat. 3636, codified as amended at 16 U.S.C. 410ee 
(1994), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior, after advising the 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate 
and the Committee on Natural Resources of the United States House of 
Representatives, in writing, to make minor revisions to the boundaries 
of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (hereinafter SAAN) 
when necessary by publication of a revised drawing or other boundary 
description in the Federal Register. That statute also authorizes the 
Secretary of the Interior to acquire by donation, purchase with donated 
or appropriated funds, or exchange, lands and interests therein 
constituting the area generally described as Mission San Jose y San 
Miguel de Aguayo and such lands and interests therein which the 
Secretary determines are necessary or desirable to provide for public 
access to, and interpretation and protection of, Mission San Jose y San 
Miguel de Aguayo.
    The boundary revision would add to the park boundary a 0.02-acre 
parcel of land known as SAAN Tract 102-18, owned by L & H Packing Co. 
of San Antonio, Texas. The National Park Service then proposes to 
exchange a 0.02-acre parcel of land known as SAAN Tract 102-19, which 
is located outside the park boundaries for said SAAN Tract 102-18. The 
boundary revision and exchange are required to provide safe access to 
the Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo Unit of SAAN by enlarging 
the view area for vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the intersection 
on New Napier Avenue and San Jose Drive.
    Appraisals have been completed and approved on all the tracts 
involved in the exchange. Both parties have determined that the lands 
and interests therein to be exchanged are of equal value.
    Tract 102-18 and Tract 102-19 are depicted on SAAN land acquisition 
status map segment 102, drawing number 472/80,026-D, prepared by Land 
Resources Program Center, Intermountain Region. This map is on file and 
available for inspection in the office of the National Park Service, 
Land Resources Program Center, Intermountain Region and the Office of 
the Superintendent, San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
    Notice is hereby given that the boundary of the San Antonio 
Missions National Historical Park has been revised pursuant to the 
above cited statute, to include the lands depicted as Tract 102-18 on 
said map having drawing number 472/80,026-D.
COMMENTS AND FURTHER INFORMATION: The comment period on the proposed 
exchange ends 45 days from the date of this publication. Information 
may be obtained from or comments pertaining to this exchange should be 
addressed to the Superintendent, San Antonio Missions National 
Historical Park, 2202 Roosevelt Avenue, San Antonio, Texas 78210-4919.

    Dated: June 7, 1999.
John E. Cook,
Regional Director, Intermountain Region, National Park Service.
