After telling Congress in writing why, the Secretary may accept donated land next to the Park that would significantly help fulfill its purposes, even if it lies outside current boundaries. The Secretary must then publish notice in the Federal Register and manage that land as part of the Park.

After notifying Congress's Interior Committees in writing of the Secretary's plans and reasons, the Secretary may accept title to land, or interests in land, that lies outside the Park's present boundaries but next to them (or next to land already acquired this way) — if the Secretary finds the land would significantly help fulfill the Park's purposes. This applies to land Indiana or its local governments might acquire and offer to donate, or that any private person, organization, or corporation offers to donate. The Secretary must then administer the land as part of the Park after publishing notice of that in the Federal Register.
