Within the boundaries of the park the Secretary may acquire lands
and interests in land by donation or exchange. For the purposes of
acquiring property by exchange with the State of Florida, the Secretary
may, notwithstanding any other provision of law, exchange those Federal
lands which were deleted from the park by the boundary modifications
enacted by section 201 of the Act of June 28, 1980 (Public Law 96-287),
and which are directly adjacent to lands owned by the State of Florida
outside of the park, for lands owned by the State of Florida within the
park boundary.
(b) United States Coast Guard lands
When all or any substantial portion of lands under the
administration of the United States Coast Guard located within the park
boundaries, including Loggerhead Key, have been determined by the United
States Coast Guard to be excess to its needs, such lands shall be
transferred directly to the jurisdiction of the Secretary for the
purposes of this subchapter. The United States Coast Guard may reserve
the right in such transfer to maintain and utilize the existing
lighthouse on Loggerhead Key in a manner consistent with the purposes of
the United States Coast Guard and the purposes of this subchapter.
(c) Administrative site
The Secretary is authorized to lease or to acquire, by purchase,
donation, or exchange, and to operate incidental administrative and
