DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
Notice is hereby given that the boundary of Virgin Islands National Park is modified to include one tract of land adjacent to the park.

The National Park Service has determined that inclusion of the tract within the park's boundary will make significant contributions to the purposes for which the park was established. After the United States acquires the tracts, the National Park Service will manage them in accordance with applicable law.
SUMMARY:
