SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When the

parks were created, surface ownership

within the two areas was acquired by

the U.S. Government. Private entities or

the State of Texas retained the

subsurface mineral interests on these

lands. Thus, the federal government

does not own any of the subsurface oil

and gas rights in the parks, yet the

National Park Service is required by its

laws, policies and regulations to protect

these parks from any actions, including

oil and gas operations, that may
