Sec. 460o-2. Designation of area; boundaries


(a) Publication in Federal Register; description of boundaries; 
        administration of transferred lands and waters

    As soon as practicable after September 1, 1965, and following the 
transfer to the Secretary of the Interior by the Secretary of the Army 
of jurisdiction over those lands and interests therein within the 
boundary generally depicted on the drawing described in section 460o-1 
of this title which, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Interior, 
constitute an efficiently administrable unit, the Secretary of the 
Interior shall declare establishment of the area by publication of 
notice thereof in the Federal Register. Such notice shall contain a 
detailed description of the boundaries of the area which shall 
encompass, to the extent practicable, the lands and waters shown on said 
drawing. Prior to such establishment, the Secretary of the Interior 
shall administer such transferred lands and waters, consistent with the 
construction of the project, for purposes in contemplation of the 
establishment of the area pursuant to this subchapter.

(b) Adjustments in boundaries; publication in Federal Register; 
        acquisition of additional lands; acreage limitations

    The Secretary of the Interior may subsequently make adjustments in 
the boundary of the area by publication of the amended description 
thereof in the Federal Register and acquire, by such means as he may 
deem to be in the public interest, including an exchange of excluded for 
included lands or interests therein with or without the payment or 
receipt of money to equalize values, additional lands and interests 
therein included in the area by reason of the boundary adjustment: 
Provided, That the area encompassed by such revised boundary shall not 
exceed the acreage included within the detailed boundary first described 
pursuant to this section.

(c) Continuance of existing uses

    On lands acquired pursuant to this subchapter for recreation 
purposes, the Secretary of the Army, with the concurrence of the 
Secretary of the Interior, may permit the continuance of existing uses 
consistent with the purposes of this subchapter.
