              SUBCHAPTER LIX-V--DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK
 
Sec. 410xx-2. Land acquisition and transfer of property


(a) In general

    Within the boundaries of the park the Secretary may acquire lands 
and interests in land by donation or exchange. For the purposes of 
acquiring property by exchange with the State of Florida, the Secretary 
may, notwithstanding any other provision of law, exchange those Federal 
lands which were deleted from the park by the boundary modifications 
enacted by section 201 of the Act of June 28, 1980 (Public Law 96-287), 
and which are directly adjacent to lands owned by the State of Florida 
outside of the park, for lands owned by the State of Florida within the 
park boundary.

(b) United States Coast Guard lands

    When all or any substantial portion of lands under the 
administration of the United States Coast Guard located within the park 
boundaries, including Loggerhead Key, have been determined by the United 
States Coast Guard to be excess to its needs, such lands shall be 
transferred directly to the jurisdiction of the Secretary for the 
purposes of this subchapter. The United States Coast Guard may reserve 
the right in such transfer to maintain and utilize the existing 
lighthouse on Loggerhead Key in a manner consistent with the purposes of 
the United States Coast Guard and the purposes of this subchapter.

(c) Administrative site

    The Secretary is authorized to lease or to acquire, by purchase, 
donation, or exchange, and to operate incidental administrative and 
support facilities in Key West, Florida, for park administration and to 
further the purposes of this subchapter.
