16 U.S.C. § 423a–1Addition of lands

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Department of the Army must transfer two land tracts to the Department of the Interior for free. They sit along Siege Road near the battlefield in Virginia and total about 206 acres. After the transfer, the battlefield's full boundary — about 1,531 acres — becomes official once published in the Federal Register.

The Department of the Army is required to transfer two tracts of land to the Department of the Interior, without any payment. Together these tracts total about two hundred six acres. They sit on either side of Siege Road, next to the Petersburg National Battlefield in Virginia. Once that transfer is complete, the section defines the full Petersburg National Battlefield. It becomes all federally owned land — including these new tracts — that the National Park Service manages as part of, or alongside, the battlefield in and around the city of Petersburg, Virginia. That total area is about one thousand five hundred thirty-one acres. The battlefield officially takes this shape once the Secretary of the Interior publishes a description of it in the Federal Register.
