Exclusive Jurisdiction
Mammoth Cave National Park
(MACA) was created by Congress in
1926. In 1930, the Commonwealth of
Kentucky ceded to the United States
exclusive jurisdiction over all lands and
waters acquired by the United States for
MACA, effective when the United States
accepted such jurisdiction by statute on
June 5, 1942. By Kentucky law, the
cession and acceptance was limited to
lands owned by the United States. On
July 2, 1986, the Director of the National
Park Service (NPS) notified the
Governor of Kentucky that he was
accepting exclusive jurisdiction over
lands and waters acquired by the United
States within MACA between 1942 and
1986.
Since July 2, 1986, the United States
has acquired additional lands for
MACA. Accordingly, in a letter dated
May 21, 2014, the Director of the NPS
notified the Governor of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky that he
formally accepted on behalf of NPS
exclusive jurisdiction over lands and
waters within the legislated boundaries
of MACA, that were acquired by the
U.S. Government after July 2, 1986.
Exclusive jurisdiction over these lands
was established by the Governor’s
acknowledgement of receipt of the letter
on December 7, 2015.
For the lands within MACA whereby
exclusive jurisdiction had been
accepted in 1942 and 1986, that
acceptance remains in effect.
Concurrent Jurisdiction
On April 19, 1994, upon application
by the NPS, the Governor of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky signed
Executive Order 94–355 (E.O.), ceding
legislative jurisdiction on lands owned
by the United States within Abraham
Lincoln Birthplace National Historic
Site (ABLI), Big South Fork National
River and Recreation Area (BISO), and
Cumberland Gap National Historical
Park (CUGA). The Director of the NPS
accepted the cession as required by
Federal law. Part IV of the E.O. provided
that, in the event of an alteration of the
descriptions of the lands, the NPS
would transmit new descriptions to be
annexed to the E.O.
Since April 19, 1994, the United
States has acquired additional lands in
Kentucky within the legislated
boundaries of ABLI and CUGA. Further,
an additional unit of the National Park
System, Fort Donelson National
Battlefield (FODO; Fort Heiman Unit),
has been established in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. To bring
these NPS administered lands under
concurrent legislative jurisdiction, it

was necessary to update the E.O. of
April 19, 1994.
Therefore, the Commonwealth of
Kentucky through signature on a cession
instrument by the Governor ceded to the
United States such measure of
jurisdiction as necessary to effectuate a
status of concurrent legislative
jurisdiction for purposes of criminal law
enforcement on these acquired lands
within ABLI, CUGA, and FODO.
This cession is limited to lands within
each of the above-listed units which
were acquired since April 19, 1994. The
NPS, acting through the Director,
formally accepted the described cession
of concurrent jurisdiction, through his
signature on the cession instrument.
Concurrent legislative jurisdiction
became effective with entry of the
cession instrument upon the Executive
Journal for the Commonwealth of
Kentucky on July 28, 2016.
For all other NPS administered lands
within these units whereby concurrent
legislative jurisdiction had been ceded
in 1994, that cession remains in effect.

Exclusive Jurisdiction
Mammoth Cave National Park (MACA) was created by Congress in 1926.
In 1930, the Commonwealth of Kentucky ceded to the United States
exclusive jurisdiction over all lands and waters acquired by the United
States for MACA, effective when the United States accepted such
jurisdiction by statute on June 5, 1942. By Kentucky law, the cession

2, 1986, the Director of the National Park Service (NPS) notified the
Governor of Kentucky that he was accepting exclusive jurisdiction over
lands and waters acquired by the United States within MACA between 1942

Since July 2, 1986, the United States has acquired additional lands
for MACA. Accordingly, in a letter dated May 21, 2014, the Director of
the NPS notified the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky that he
formally accepted on behalf of NPS exclusive jurisdiction over lands

these lands was established by the Governor's acknowledgement of
receipt of the letter on December 7, 2015.
For the lands within MACA whereby exclusive jurisdiction had been
accepted in 1942 and 1986, that acceptance remains in effect.
Concurrent Jurisdiction
On April 19, 1994, upon application by the NPS, the Governor of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky signed Executive Order 94-355 (E.O.), ceding
legislative jurisdiction on lands owned by the United States within
Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site (ABLI), Big South
Fork National River and Recreation Area (BISO), and Cumberland Gap
National Historical Park (CUGA). The Director of the NPS accepted the
cession as required by Federal law. Part IV of the E.O. provided that,
in the event of an alteration of the descriptions of the lands, the NPS
would transmit new descriptions to be annexed to the E.O.
Since April 19, 1994, the United States has acquired additional
lands in Kentucky within the legislated boundaries of ABLI and CUGA.
Further, an additional unit of the National Park System, Fort Donelson
National Battlefield (FODO; Fort Heiman Unit), has been established in
the Commonwealth of Kentucky. To bring these NPS administered lands
under concurrent legislative jurisdiction, it was necessary to update
the E.O. of April 19, 1994.
Therefore, the Commonwealth of Kentucky through signature on a
cession instrument by the Governor ceded to the United States such
measure of jurisdiction as necessary to effectuate a status of
concurrent legislative jurisdiction for purposes of criminal law
enforcement on these acquired lands within ABLI, CUGA, and FODO.
This cession is limited to lands within each of the above-listed
units which were acquired since April 19, 1994. The NPS, acting through
the Director, formally accepted the described cession of concurrent
jurisdiction, through his signature on the cession instrument.
Concurrent legislative jurisdiction became effective with entry of the
cession instrument upon the Executive Journal for the Commonwealth of
Kentucky on July 28, 2016.
For all other NPS administered lands within these units whereby
concurrent legislative jurisdiction had been ceded in 1994, that
cession remains in effect.
