The bill transfers administrative jurisdiction over specified parcels of Bureau of Land Management land to the National Park Service (NPS) or the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and specifies an exchange of land between the BIA and the NPS.

Upon the acquisition of land or an interest in private or state land, and with respect to any transferred land, Interior shall
