**(a) Establishment**
(1) **In general** — There is established in the St. Johns River Valley, Florida, where the Timucuan Indians lived in prehistoric and historic times, the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve (hereafter in sections 698n to 698p of this title referred to as the “Preserve”). The Preserve shall comprise the lands, waters, and interests therein within the boundaries generally depicted on a map of Duval County, Florida, entitled “Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve” numbered NA–TEHP 80,003–A and dated July 1987. The map shall be on file and available for public inspection in the Office of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior may make minor revisions in the boundary of the Preserve in accordance with [section 100506(c) of title 54](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title54-section100506/c&num=0&edition=prelim). The Preserve shall also include within its boundaries all that land consisting of approximately 500 acres adjacent to Fort Caroline National Memorial and known as the Theodore Roosevelt Preserve, being land formerly owned by one Willie Brown and donated by him to The Nature Conservancy.
(2) **Modification of boundary**
(A) *In general* — In addition to the land described in paragraph (1), the Preserve shall include approximately 8.5 acres of land located in Nassau County, Florida, as generally depicted on the map entitled “Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve American Beach Adjustment”, numbered 006/80012 and dated June 2003.
(B) *Duties of Secretary* — The Secretary of the Interior shall—
(i) revise the boundaries of the Preserve so as to encompass the land described in subparagraph (A); and
(ii) maintain the map described in subparagraph (A) on file and available for public inspection in the appropriate offices of the National Park Service.
**(b) Land acquisition** The Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter in sections 698n to 698p of this title referred to as the “Secretary”) is authorized to acquire lands and interests therein within the Preserve by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, or exchange, but no lands other than wetlands or interests therein may be acquired without the consent of the owner.

Lands, interests in lands, and improvements thereon within the boundaries of the Preserve which are owned by the State of Florida or any political subdivision thereof may be acquired only by donation or exchange. On lands acquired for inclusion within the Preserve, the Secretary shall not impair any legal riparian right of access nor shall he preclude the continued use of any legal right of way.
**(c) Administration** The Secretary shall administer those lands acquired for inclusion within the Preserve in such a manner as to protect the natural ecology of such land and water areas in accordance with sections 698n to 698p of this title and the provisions of law generally applicable to units of the National Park System, including the Act of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535; [16 U.S.C. 1](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section1&num=0&edition=prelim), 2–4).11 See References in Text note below. The Secretary shall permit boating, boating-related activities, hunting, and fishing within the Preserve in accordance with applicable Federal and State laws. The Secretary may designate zones where, and establish periods when, no hunting or fishing shall be permitted for reasons of public safety.
**(d) Development of multiunit residential/resort project** Nothing in sections 698n to 698p of this title shall affect development of a multiunit residential/resort project currently proposed for Fort George Island, nor shall any provision of sections 698n to 698p of this title be construed to affect any Federal, State or local law applicable to such project.

TITLE 16—CONSERVATION
§ 698n
(1) exploration or development and produc-
tion activities may not be undertaken, except
pursuant to a permit issued by the National
Park Service authorizing such activities or ac-
cess; and
(2) final action by the National Park Service
with respect to any application for a permit
authorizing such activities shall occur within
90 days from the date such an application is
submitted unless—
(A) the National Park Service and the ap-
plicant agree that such final action shall
occur within a shorter or longer period of
time; or
(B) the National Park Service determines
that an additional period of time is required
to ensure that the National Park Service
has, in reviewing the application, complied
with other applicable law, Executive orders
and regulations; or
(C) the National Park Service, within 30
days from the date of submission of such ap-
plication, notifies the applicant that such
application does not contain all information
reasonably necessary to allow the National
Park Service to consider such application
and requests that such additional informa-
tion be provided. After receipt of such notifi-
cation to the applicant, the applicant shall
supply any reasonably necessary additional
information and shall advise the National
Park Service that the applicant believes
that the application contains all reasonably
necessary information and is therefore com-
plete, whereupon the National Park Service
may—
(i) within 30 days of receipt of such no-
tice from the applicant to the National
Park Service determine that the applica-
tion does not contain all reasonably nec-
essary additional information and, on that
basis, deny the application; or
(ii) review the application and take final
action within 60 days
