A map and legal description of the modified forest boundary is kept on file for public inspection at the Office of the Chief, Forest Service, and the Office of the Forest Supervisor of the Six Rivers National Forest. (d) Transfer: About 20 acres of federally owned land within the recreation area, administered by the Secretary of the Interior as of November 16, 1990, transfer to the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture, to be managed under the laws applicable to the National Forest System and this subchapter.
