Bill > HR3925

This bill facilitates a land exchange between the United States government and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (a federally recognized Native American tribe) in San Bernardino County, California. Specifically, the bill enables the exchange of approximately 1,475 acres of National Forest System land (Federal Land) for approximately 1,460 acres of land owned by the Nation (Non-Federal Land). The exchange involves detailed maps and specific provisions, including the Secretary of Agriculture's requirement to accept the Nation's land offer within 120 days and convey the federal land to the Nation, while reserving easements for Forest Service road access. The bill includes provisions for surveying the land, allows for minor boundary adjustments, and requires the Nation to preserve the historical and cultural integrity of the Arrowhead landmark site as a condition of the exchange. Once completed, the land acquired by the Secretary will become part of the San Bernardino National Forest and be managed under existing forest management regulations. The land exchange is exempt from certain standard federal land exchange procedures outlined in the Federal Land Policy Management Act of 1976.
