    Upon a determination by the Secretary of the Interior that

acquired by the United States for the establishment of a suitable 
national monument, such acquired property, and any Federal properties on 
the island that are not required for other public purposes, shall be 
established as the ``Saint Croix Island International Historic Site''. 
An order of the Secretary of the Interior, constituting notice of such 
determination, shall be published in the Federal Register. Following 
establishment of the national monument, other properties situated upon 
the island may become a part of the monument upon acquisition of title 
to such properties by the United States, and Federal properties situated 
upon the island, upon a determination by the agency administering such 
Federal properties that they are no longer required by that agency, may 
be transferred to the Secretary of the Interior by such agency to become 
a part of the national monument. Notice of the addition of any such 
properties to the monument shall be published in the Federal Register by 
the Secretary of the Interior. There shall be excluded from the national 
monument, for such time as the United States Coast Guard shall consider 
it to be necessary, any portion of the island which is being used and 
which is required for the purposes of a Coast Guard light station.
