the South Carolina Budget and Control Board, and subsequently signed by 
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley on November 27, 2013. The notice

2013. Concurrent jurisdiction between the United States and the State 
of South Carolina on those lands as previously described was effective 
upon the sending of the notice of acceptance by the State of South 
Carolina.
