Authorizes and requires a land exchange between Chugach Alaska (an Alaska Native Regional Corporation) and the federal government to resolve split ownership of surface and subsurface estates created by land purchases made under the Exxon Valdez program. If Chugach Alaska offers specified non‑Federal parcels within one year of enactment, the Secretary must accept them and convey listed Federal parcels in exchange, subject to title standards and existing third‑party rights. The law also allows small mapping or acreage corrections when both parties agree and makes the official map controlling in case of conflict.
