Once enough land is acquired, the Secretary of the Interior declares Fort Union National Monument officially established, with notice published in the Federal Register. More land can be added later as it's acquired. But the monument's total area can't go over 1,000 acres, not counting land covered only by scenic easements.

When the Secretary of the Interior determines that sufficient land and other property have been acquired by the United States for national-monument purposes, as provided in section 450kk of this title, that property is established as the "Fort Union National Monument." After that, it is administered by the Secretary of the Interior in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to national monuments. An order of the Secretary, constituting notice of this establishment, is published in the Federal Register. Following establishment, additional properties may be acquired as provided in section 450kk, and each becomes part of the national monument once the United States acquires title to it. There is a limit: the total area of the national monument established under this section and section 450kk cannot exceed one thousand acres, not counting adjoining lands covered by scenic easements.
