Conveys roughly 180 acres of Federal land in the Tongass National Forest to Alaska Native entities: the surface estate to Cape Fox (Cape Fox Village Corporation) and the subsurface estate to Sealaska Corporation, while waiving a prior ANCSA land-selection requirement for Cape Fox. The conveyances must occur after Cape Fox submits a written selection notice and are required to be completed within specified short timelines; the transfer also reserves a public 17(b) easement to preserve public access from George Inlet to inland National Forest lands.
