Notice of Execution of
Agreement and Establishment of Park.
AGENCY:
National Park Service
Jkt 238001
The National Park Service
(NPS) announces that the Secretary of
the Interior and the Secretary of Energy
have entered into an agreement
governing the administration of
facilities, land, or interests in land
under the jurisdiction of the Department
of Energy (DOE) that are to be initially
included in the Manhattan Project
National Historical Park (Park) and
setting out the specific responsibilities
of each of the Secretaries with regard to
the Park. This agreement satisfies the
legal requirements to establish the Park.
This new unit of the National Park
System is located in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee; Hanford, Washington; and
Los Alamos, New Mexico.
DATES: The agreement governing the
management of Park was signed by the
Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Energy on November 10,
2015. The law directing the
establishment of the Park requires that
notice of the establishment of the Park
be published in the Federal Register not
later than 30 days after the date on
which the agreement is executed.
ADDRESSES: The Memorandum of
Agreement between the Department of
the Interior and the Department of
Energy and the associated boundary
map are available for public review on
the NPS’s Planning, Environment and
Public Comment Web site at: https://park
planning.nps.gov/MPNHP. A copy of
the boundary map is available on the
Web site at: https://parkplanning.nps.
gov/document.cfm?parkID=482&
projectID=57561&documentID=69146.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Victor Knox, Associate Director, Park
Planning, Facilities, and Lands by
phone at 202–208–3264.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3039 of the Carl Levin and Howard P.
‘‘Buck’’ McKeon National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015
(Pub. L. 113–291) includes specific
provisions relating to the establishment
of this unit of the National Park System
as follows:
a. Section 3039(d) of Public Law 113–
291 requires the Secretary of the Interior
and the Secretary of Energy, not later

than one year after the date of
enactment of the act (December 19,
2014), to enter into an agreement
governing the administration of
facilities, land, or interests in land
under the DOE’s jurisdiction that are to
be included in the Park and setting out
the specific responsibilities of each of
the Secretaries with regard to the Park.
b. Section 3039(e)(2) of Public Law
113–291 also requires the Secretary of
the Interior to publish in the Federal
Register notice of the establishment of
the Park, including a boundary map, not
later than 30 days after the agreement is
executed.
Beginning in February 2015
representatives of the Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary of Energy met
to discuss a framework for managing the
Park and to determine which of the
eligible areas identified in the
authorizing legislation would be
initially included in the Park. Over the
course of several months the agency
representatives visited all three DOE
locations, toured the eligible areas, and
met with interested members of the
public in each location. As a result of
those discussions, tours, and meetings,
the Secretaries determined that the areas
shown on the map published with this
notice would be initially included in the
Park. On July 28, 2015, the draft
agreement and a proposed boundary
map were posted on the NPS’s public
park-planning Web site, and members of
the public were allowed 30 days to
comment on them. The agency
representatives then analyzed those
comments and modified the draft
agreement and the boundary map
accordingly. Although the NPS and DOE
recognize the historical significance of
the other eligible areas identified in the
authorizing legislation, those facilities
either are not currently safe for
visitation or are needed to support
ongoing DOE mission work. They are
therefore not included in the Park at this
time; however, the agencies will
periodically reevaluate them to
determine if they can be included in the
Park at a later date.
The Secretary of the Interior has
determined that the execution of the
agreement satisfies the legal
requirements to establish this new unit
of the National Park System.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of this notice, the Park is
established as a new unit of the National
Park System and is subject to the laws
and policies governing such units.
Authority: Section 3039 of the Carl Levin
and Howard P. ‘‘Buck’’ McKeon National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2015, Public Law 113–291.
