In this section: The term City means Bullhead City, Arizona. The term non-Federal Land means the approximately 1,100 acres of land owned by Bullhead City in the Black Mountain Range generally depicted as Bullhead City Land to be Exchanged to BLM on the Map. The term Map means the map entitled Bullhead City Land Exchange and dated August 24, 2018. The term Federal land means the approximately 345.2 acres of land in Bullhead City, Arizona, generally depicted as Federal Land to be exchanged to Bullhead City on the Map.
If after December 15, 2020, the City offers to convey to the Secretary all right, title, and interest of the City in and to the non-Federal land, the Secretary shall accept the offer and simultaneously convey to the City all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to the Federal land. Title to the non-Federal land conveyed to the Secretary under this section shall be in a form acceptable to the Secretary and shall conform to the title approval standards of the Attorney General of the United States applicable to land acquisitions by the Federal Government.
The City shall pay for all land survey, appraisal, and other costs to the Secretary as may be necessary to process and consummate the exchange under this section. The values of the lands to be exchanged under this section shall be determined by the Secretary through appraisals performed— in accordance with— the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions; the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice; and appraisal instructions issued by the Secretary; and by an appraiser mutually agreed to by the Secretary and the City.
The values of the Federal and non-Federal land parcels exchanged shall be equal, or if they are not equal, shall be equalized as follows: If the final appraised value of the Federal land exceeds the final appraised value of the non-Federal land, the City shall reduce the amount of land it is requesting from the Federal Government in order to create an equal value in accordance with section 206(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 ( 43 U.S.C. 1716(b) ). Land that is not exchanged because of equalization under this subparagraph shall remain subject to lease under the Act of June 14, 1926 (commonly known as the Recreation and Public Purposes Act ) (44 Stat. 741, chapter 578; 43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.).
Any cash equalization moneys received by the Secretary under subparagraph
(A)shall be— deposited in the Federal Land Disposal Account established by section 206(a) of the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act ( 43 U.S.C. 2305(a) ); and used in accordance with that Act ( 43 U.S.C. 2301 et seq.). If the final appraised value of the non-Federal land exceeds the final appraised value of the Federal land, the United States shall not make a cash equalization payment to the City, and surplus value of the non-Federal land shall be considered a donation by the City to the United States for all purposes of law. Lands acquired by the Secretary under this section are, upon such acquisition, automatically and permanently withdrawn from all forms of appropriation and disposal under the public land laws (including the mining and mineral leasing laws) and the Geothermal Steam Act of 1930 ( 30 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.). The Secretary and the City may, by mutual agreement— make minor boundary adjustments to the Federal and non-Federal lands involved in the exchange; and correct any minor errors in any map, acreage estimate, or description of any land to be exchanged. If there is a conflict between a map, an acreage estimate, or a description of land under this section, the map shall control unless the Secretary and the City mutually agree otherwise. The Secretary shall file and make available for public inspection in the Arizona headquarters of the Bureau of Land Management a copy of all maps referred to in this section.
