Salem Maritime National Historical Park Redesignation and Boundary Study Act
This bill redesignates the "Salem Maritime National Historic Site" as the "Salem Maritime National Historical Park" in all federal references. It requires the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a boundary study evaluating sites in Salem, Massachusetts, and nearby areas related to maritime history, coastal defenses, and military history (including National Guard activity). The study must be completed within three years, after which the Secretary will submit a report with findings and recommendations to relevant congressional committees. This change primarily affects how the site is officially named and referenced in federal documents, with no immediate impact on park operations or funding.
