Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

The Brian Head Town Land Conveyance Act would require the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the U.S. Forest Service, to transfer about 24 acres of National Forest System land within the Dixie National Forest to Brian Head Town, Utah. The transfer would be at no cost (without consideration) and could be used by the Town for a public works facility or other uses the Town deems necessary. After the transfer, the Secretary would modify the Dixie National Forest boundary to reflect that the land is no longer part of the National Forest. The transfer would be subject to any terms and conditions the Secretary determines are appropriate. The land to be conveyed is defined to include the 24-acre parcel and any improvements on it, and is shown on a map referenced in the bill.
