AI Summary
This bill removes the federal government's claim of "navigational servitude" over a specific piece of land in Valdez, Alaska, known as Tract G, Harbor Subdivision. Navigational servitude is a legal principle that gives the federal government certain rights over navigable waters and adjacent lands for the purpose of improving or protecting navigation. This tract of land was created as a result of disposing of dredged material from a harbor project.
