Monument Preservation and Education Act''.

SEC. 902. VISITOR CENTER.

(a) Authorization.--Subject to the availability of appropriations
and the project being prioritized in the National Park Services 5-year,

Visitor Center for the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
(referred to in this section as the ``Monument'').

of St. Augustine, Florida, the Colonial St. Augustine Preservation
Foundation, other Federal, State, and local departments or agencies,
academic institutions, and non-profit entities for the planning and
design, construction, management, and operation of the Visitor Center.

SEC. 904. BOUNDARY EXPANSION.

Visitor Center authorized by section 902 is located outside the
boundary of the Monument, the Secretary is authorized to acquire the
site for the Visitor Center, from willing sellers, by donation,
purchase with donated or appropriated funds, or by exchange.

Subtitle B--Castillo de San Marcos National Monument Boundary
Modification

SEC. 911. SHORT TITLE.

This subtitle may be cited as the ``Castillo de San Marcos National
Monument Boundary Adjustment Act of 2004''.

SEC. 912. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The early defense lines for Fort Marion, Florida, today
known as the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, included
defenses extending in a line due west to the Sebastian River, a
distance of about one half mile.
(2) In the 1830's, during the Seminole Wars in Florida,
these defensive lines were maintained, but as Florida became
more settled they fell into disrepair and/or became obsolete.
(3) In 1908 the War Department deeded much of the property
running west to the Sebastian River to the St. Johns County
Board of Public Instruction. The portion of this property
remaining in federal ownership today is occupied by Orange
Street, a City of St. Augustine, Florida street.
(4) For nearly a century, the City of St. Augustine has
maintained and managed Orange Street, a modern city street, and
associated utilities in the Orange Street corridor.
(5) Any archeological remains that are still present on the
property overlaid by Orange Street are adequately protected by
the City's archeological ordinances, and by the City having an
archeologist on staff.
(6) Although the city currently operates Orange Street
under a right-of-way from the National Park Service, from a
management perspective it is appropriate for the City of St.
Augustine to own Orange Street.

SEC. 913. BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT.

(a) Conveyance of Land.--The Secretary of the Interior shall
convey, without consideration, to the City of St. Augustine, Florida,
all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to the lands
known as Orange Street, a portion of the Castillo de San Marcos
National Monument (Monument), consisting of approximately 3.1 acres, as
shown on the map entitled Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
Boundary Adjustment and Correction, numbered 343/80060, and dated April
2003. Upon completion of the conveyance, the Secretary shall revise the
boundary of the Monument to exclude the land conveyed.
(b) Boundary Revision.--Effective on the date of the enactment of
this Act, the boundary of the Monument is revised to include an area of
approximately 0.45 acres, as shown on the map identified in subsection
(a). The Secretary shall administer the lands included in the boundary
as part of the national monument in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations.
