This legislation would move about 72 acres of federal land in Washington from the U.S. Forest Service to the Department of the Interior, which must place it into trust for the Quinault Indian Nation. Once in trust, the land becomes part of the Quinault Indian Reservation and is managed like other tribal trust land .

It bans gaming on this land and does not change any treaty rights. For the transfer, Interior must disclose any known hazardous substances on the land, but it is not required to clean them up as part of this action .
