I believe you are referring to The Federal and District of Columbia Government Real Property Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-396) which involved a number of sites (like Poplar Point)that DC wanted for redevelopment purposes. It is my understanding that many small parcels like Reservation 149 remain under NPS jurisdiction, though, because DC Parks and Recreation doesn't have the resources to maintain them. For more information on the land transfer see http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-109publ396/pdf/PLAW-109publ396.pdf and http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d08684.pdf

Good catch on the confusion regarding the closing date for public comment. The project home page on the NPS website says that the closing date for public comment period is September 2, while the document page says September 12. For anybody who wants to comment, here is a link to the site: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=427&projectID=31628&documentID=42495
