SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 18, 2022, President Biden signed
into law Public Law 117-106, which provides for the designation of the
Granada Relocation Center in Prowers County, Colorado, as Amache
National Historic Site. Amache was one of 10 incarceration camps
established by the War Relocation Authority during World War II (WWII)
to unjustly incarcerate Japanese Americans who were forcibly removed
from their communities on the West Coast under the provisions of
Executive Order 9066.
The statute provides that Amache National Historic Site shall be
established as a unit of the National Park System once the Secretary
determines that a sufficient quantity of land, or interests in land,
has been acquired to constitute a manageable park unit, and that the
Secretary must publish notice of such establishment in the Federal
Register.
The National Park Service has acquired 410 acres within the
proposed historic site boundary, encompassing the core of the former
built-up area of Amache. On February 9, 2024, the Secretary of the
Interior signed a Decision Memorandum determining that a sufficient
quantity of land, or interests in land, had been acquired to constitute
a manageable park unit. With the signing of this Decision Memorandum by
the Secretary and the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, Amache National Historic Site is established.
Charles F. Sams III,
Director, National Park Service.
