H.R. 2215 — Salem Maritime National Historical Park Redesignation and Boundary Study Act

This section redesignates the Salem Maritime National Historic Site as the Salem Maritime National Historical Park and deems any references to the former name in law, regulations, maps, documents, records, or other U.S. papers to refer to the park.

This section directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a boundary study evaluating the suitability and feasibility of adding to Salem Maritime National Historical Park (as redesignated by section 2(a)) sites and resources in the study area—Salem, Massachusetts, and its vicinity, including the Salem Armory Visitor Center building and adjacent Salem Armory Park—associated with maritime history, coastal defenses, and military history (including National Guard and militia activity). Not later than three years after funds are made available, the Secretary must submit to the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources a report containing the study's results and the Secretary's findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
