Bill > HR1169

This bill, titled the Naval Air Station Fallon Housing and Safety Development Act, directs the Secretary of the Interior to transfer approximately 400 acres of federal land in Churchill County, Nevada, to the Secretary of the Navy without any cost. This land is adjacent to Naval Air Station Fallon and was previously set aside under a specific public land order. Once transferred, the Secretary of the Navy will have complete control over this land, and it will be withdrawn from any new claims or uses under public land laws, including mining and geothermal leasing, as long as it remains under the Navy's jurisdiction. The bill also clarifies that this transfer does not affect existing water rights or establish new ones, and any water use on the land must follow Nevada state law.
