No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section directs the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, to convey to the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (also known as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians) approximately 1,475 acres of identified National Forest System land in the San Bernardino National Forest, if the Nation offers to convey approximately 1,460 acres of its land, reserving easements for Forest Service roads 1N22, 1N24, and 1N25. The section requires surveys to determine exact acreage and legal descriptions (with the Nation bearing costs for surveying its land), allows mutual minor boundary adjustments and corrections to maps or estimates (with maps controlling in conflicts), conditions the exchange on the Nation entering an agreement within 120 days of enactment to preserve the Arrowhead landmark site, and requires maps to be available for public inspection at the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Regional Forester's office. Land acquired by the United States becomes part of the San Bernardino National Forest and is managed accordingly, and the exchange is exempt from the land exchange requirements of section 206 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (i.e., general authority for equal-value exchanges of federal and non-federal lands in the same state when serving the public interest, with cash equalization not exceeding 25% of the federal land's value).
