Once enough Cape Lookout land belongs to the U.S., the Secretary establishes the seashore. He announces this with a Federal Register notice, sent to Congress 30 days first. After that, he can keep acquiring the seashore's remaining land.

This section has no lettered subsections. When enough land and interests in land are owned by the United States to form a workable unit for the purposes of sections 459g through 459g–7, the Secretary must declare the seashore established, by publishing notice in the Federal Register. That notice must include whatever refined boundary description or map the Secretary thinks is useful, and the seashore's outer boundaries must match, as closely as possible, the area generally described in section 459g. Copies of that description or map must go to the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate at least 30 days before the Federal Register publication. After the seashore is established, and subject to the limits in sections 459g through 459g–7, the Secretary can continue acquiring the rest of the land and interests inside the seashore's boundaries, following the rules in section 459g–1.

When title to lands and interests in lands in an amount sufficient to constitute an efficiently administerable 1 unit for the purposes of sections 459g to 459g–7 of this title is vested in the United States, the Secretary shall declare the establishment of the seashore by publication of notice thereof in the Federal Register. Such notice shall contain a refined description or map of the boundaries of the seashore as the Secretary may find desirable and such exterior boundaries shall encompass, as nearly as possible, the area generally described in section 459g of this title. Copies of said description or map shall be furnished to the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate not less than thirty days prior to publication in the Federal Register. Following such establishment, and subject to the limitations and conditions prescribed in sections 459g to 459g–7 of this title, the Secretary may, subject to the provisions of section 459g–1 of this title, acquire the remainder of the lands and interests in lands within the boundaries of the seashore.
