§ 1715. Acquisitions of public lands and access

(a) Authorization and limitations on authority of
Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of
Agriculture
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law,
the Secretary, with respect to the public lands
and the Secretary of Agriculture, with respect
to the acquisition of access over non-Federal
lands to units of the National Forest System,
are authorized to acquire pursuant to this Act
by purchase, exchange, donation, or eminent do-
main, lands or interests therein: Provided, That
with respect to the public lands, the Secretary
may exercise 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 expanding or limiting the author-
ity of the Secretary of Agriculture to acquire
land by eminent domain within the boundaries
of units of the National Forest System.
(b) Conformity to departmental policies and
land-use plan of acquisitions
Acquisitions pursuant to this section shall be
consistent with the mission of the department

lic lands. If such acquired lands or interests in
lands are located within the exterior boundaries
of a grazing district established pursuant to sec-
tion 315 of this title, 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 reg-
ulations applicable thereto.
(d) Status of lands and interests in lands upon
acquisition by Secretary of Agriculture
Lands and interests in lands acquired by the
Secretary of Agriculture pursuant to this sec-

the United States pursuant to the provisions of
the Act of February 26, 1919 (40 Stat. 1179), shall

§ 1716. Exchanges of public lands or interests
therein within the National Forest System
(a) Authorization and limitations on authority of
Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of
Agriculture
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 in-
terest will be well served by making that ex-
change: Provided, That when considering public
interest the Secretary concerned shall give full
consideration to better Federal land manage-
ment and the needs of State and local people, in-
cluding needs for lands for the economy, com-
munity expansion, recreation areas, food, fiber,
minerals, and fish and wildlife and the Secretary
concerned finds that the values and the objec-
tives which Federal lands or interests to be con-
veyed may serve if retained in Federal owner-
ship are not more than the values of the non-
Federal lands or interests and the public objec-
tives they could serve if acquired.
(b) Implementation requirements; cash equali-
zation waiver
In exercising the exchange authority granted
by subsection (a) or by section 1715(a) of this
title, the Secretary concerned may accept title
to any non-Federal land or interests therein in
exchange for such land, or interests therein
which he finds proper for transfer out of Federal
ownership and which are located in the same
State as the non-Federal land or interest to be
acquired. For the purposes of this subsection,
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 Agri-
culture 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 transferred out of Federal
ownership. The Secretary concerned and the
other party or parties involved in the exchange
may mutually agree to waive the requirement
for the payment of money to equalize values
where the Secretary concerned determines that
the exchange will be expedited thereby and that
the public interest will be better served by such
a waiver of cash equalization payments and
where the amount to be waived is no more than
3 per centum of the value of the lands being
transferred out of Federal ownership or $15,000,
whichever is less, except that the Secretary of
Agriculture shall not agree to waive any such
requirement for payment of money to the
United States. The Secretary concerned shall
try to reduce the amount of the payment of
money to as small an amount as possible.
(c) Status of lands acquired upon exchange by
Secretary of the Interior
Lands acquired by the Secretary by exchange
under this section which are within the bound-
aries of any unit of the National Forest System,
National Park System, National Wildlife Refuge
System, National Wild and Scenic Rivers Sys-
tem, National Trails System, National Wilder-
ness Preservation System, or any other system
established by Act of Congress, or the bound-
aries of the California Desert Conservation
Area, or the boundaries of any national con-
servation area or national recreation area estab-
lished by Act of Congress, upon acceptance of
title by the United States shall immediately be
