ACQUISITIONS 



Sec. 205. fa) Notwithstanding any other pro- 

 visions of law, the Secretary, with respect to the 

 public lands and the Secretary of Agriculture, with 

 respect to the acquisition of access over non-Fed- 

 eral lands to units of the National Forest System, 

 are authorized to acquire pursuant to this Act by 

 purchase, exchange, donation, or eminent domain, 

 lands or interests therein : Provided, That with re- 

 spect to the public lands, the Secretary may exer- 

 cise the power of eminent domain only if necessary 

 to secure access to public lands, and then only if 

 the lands so acquired are confined to as narrow a 

 corridor as is necessary to serve such purpose. 

 Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as 

 exjjanding or limiting the authority of the Sec- 

 retary of Agriculture to acquire land by eminent 

 domain within the boundaries of units of the Na- 

 tional Forest System. 



(b) Acquisitions pursuant to this section shall 

 be consistent with the mission of the department 

 involved and with applicable departmental land- 

 use plans. 



(c) Lands and interests in lands acquired by the 

 Secretary pursuant to this section or section 206 

 shall, upon acceptance of title, become public 

 lands, and, for the administration of public land 

 laws not repealed by this Act, shall remain public 

 lands. If such acquired lands or interests in lands 

 are located within the exterior boundaries of a 

 grazing district established pursuant to the first 

 section of the Act of June 29, 1934 <48 Stat. 1269, 

 as amended; 43 U.S.C. 315) (commonly known as 

 the "Taylor Grazing Act" > , they shall become a part 

 of that district. Lands and interests in lands ac- 

 quired pursuant to this section which are within 

 boundaries of the National Forest System may be 

 transferred to the Secretary of Agriculture and 

 shall then become National Forest System lands 

 and subject to all the laws, rules, and regulations 

 applicable thereto. 



<d) Lands and interests in lands acquired by the 

 Secretary of Agriculture pursuant to this section 

 shall, upon acceptance of title, become National 

 Forest System lands subject to all the laws, rules, 

 and regulations applicable thereto. 



EXCHANGES 



Sec 206. (a) A tract of public land or interests 

 therein may be disposed of by exchange by the 

 Secretary under this Act and a tract of land or 



interests therein within the National Forest System 

 may be disposed of by exchange by the Secretary 

 of Agriculture under applicable law where the Sec- 

 retary concerned determines that the public inter- 

 est will be well served by making that exchange: 

 Provided, That when considering public interest 

 the Secretary concerned shall give full considera- 

 tion to better Federal land management and the 

 needs of State and local people, including needs for 

 lands for the economy, community expansion, rec- 

 reation areas, food, fiber, minerals, and fish and 

 wildlife and the Secretary concerned finds that the 

 values and the objectives which Federal lands or 

 interests to be conveyed may serve if retained in 

 Federal ownership are not more than the values 

 of the non-Federal lands or interests and the public 

 objectives they could serve if acquired. 



(b) In exercising the exchange authority granted 

 by subsection (a) or by section 205 'a) of this Act, 

 the Secretary may accept title to any non-Federal 

 land or interests therein in exchange for such land, 

 Dr interests therein which he finds proper for trans- 

 fer out of Federal ownership and which are located 

 in the same State as the non-Federal land or in- 

 terest to be acquired. For the purposes of this sub- 

 section, unsurveyed school sections which, upon 

 survey by the Secretary, would become State lands, 

 shall be considered as "non-Federal lands". The 

 values of the lands exchanged by the Secretary 

 under this Act and by the Secretary of Agriculture 

 under applicable law relating to lands within the 

 National Forest System either shall be equal, or if 

 they are not equal, the values shall be equalized by 

 the payment of money to the grantor or to the 

 Secretary concerned as the circumstances require 

 so long as payment does not exceed 25 per centum 

 of the total value of the lands or interests trans- 

 ferred out of Federal ownership. The Secretary 

 concerned shall try to reduce the amount of the 

 payment of money to as small an amount as 

 possible, 



(c) Lands acquired by exchange under this sec- 

 tion by the Secretary which are within the bounda- 

 ries of the National Forest System may be trans- 

 ferred to the Secretary of Agriculture and shall 

 then become National Forest System lands and 

 subject to all the laws, rules, and regulations appli- 

 cable to the National Forest System. Lands acquired 

 by exchange by the Secretary under this section 

 which are within the boundaries of National Park, 

 Wildlife Refuge, Wild and Scenic Rivers, Trails, or 

 any other System established by Act of Congress 

 may be transferred to the appropriate agency head 

 for administration as part of such System and in 

 accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations 

 applicable to such System. 



QUALIFIED CONVEYEES 



Sec 207. No tract of land may be disposed of 

 under this Act, whether by sale, exchange, or dona- 

 tion, to any person who is. not a citizen of the 

 United States, or in the case of a corporation, is

 States.
