to such properties by the United States, and Federal properties situated
upon the island, upon a determination by the agency administering such
Federal properties that they are no longer required by that agency, may
be transferred to the Secretary of the Interior by such agency to become
a part of the national monument. Notice of the addition of any such
properties to the monument shall be published in the Federal Register by
the Secretary of the Interior. There shall be excluded from the national
monument, for such time as the United States Coast Guard shall consider
it to be necessary, any portion of the island which is being used and
which is required for the purposes of a Coast Guard light station.
