H.R. 7864: Gateway Arch National Park Boundary Revision Act of 2026

This bill, known as the Gateway Arch National Park Boundary Revision Act of 2026, aims to modify the boundary of Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis, Missouri. Specifically, it proposes two key changes to the existing law governing the park:

Boundary Adjustments

1. The size of the national park's boundary will be revised from "one hundred acres" to "102.18 acres." This entails a reduction in the total area recognized as part of the park.

2. The current boundary map referenced in the law will be updated. The existing map, which refers to documents dated to January 1992, will be replaced with a new map titled "Gateway Arch National Park Proposed Boundary Revision," numbered 366/189,627, and dated August 2023.

Purpose of the Changes

The proposed changes aim to formally recognize the new boundary size and the updated map to reflect any recent modifications made to the park's land. These changes might be part of efforts to improve the park's management, visitor experience, or to accommodate other developments in the surrounding area.

Other Relevant Information

These adjustments are part of the ongoing legislative process concerning the management and preservation of national parks. As such, they align with broader themes of land management and conservation within the national parks system.
