Authorizes a land swap between the United States and BWLT so private land can be added to the Chippewa National Forest. If BWLT offers its parcel, the Secretary (as defined in the Act) must accept within one year, exchange the properties, reserve a road easement, and follow federal rules for title, appraisals, surveys, and environmental review.
The acquired property will become part of the National Forest System and be managed like other national forest land. BWLT must cover certain costs (such as surveys, appraisals, and title work). A referenced map guides the exchange and will be available for public inspection.
On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill Agreed to by voice vote. (text: CR H242-243)
