The National Park Service, led by the Secretary of the Interior, manages the Coronado National Memorial for the public. It generally follows the 1916 law that created the Park Service. But it can't develop the strip of land next to the Mexican border without the Secretary of State's approval.

The National Park Service, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, must promote and regulate use of the Coronado National Memorial for the benefit and enjoyment of the American people. Wherever it applies and doesn't conflict with sections 450y through 450y–4, the Act of August 25, 1916 (the law that created the National Park Service, as later amended and added to) governs how the Memorial is promoted and regulated. But there is one limit: nothing in sections 450y through 450y–4 lets the Park Service build recreational facilities or make other developments within the sixty-foot strip of land north of the U.S.–Mexico border that a 1907 presidential proclamation set aside — unless the Secretary of State approves that development first.
