A BILL
To authorize a land exchange involving the acquisition of private land
adjacent to the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona for
inclusion in the refuge in exchange for certain Bureau of Land
Management lands in Riverside County, California, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act--
(1) Map 1.--The term ``Map 1'' means the map entitled
``Specified Parcel of Public Land in California'' and dated
July 18, 2014.
(2) Map 2.--The term ``Map 2'' means the map entitled
``River Bottom Farm Lands'' and dated July 18, 2014.
SEC. 2. LAND EXCHANGE, CIBOLA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, ARIZONA, AND
BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT LAND IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY,
CALIFORNIA.
(a) Conveyance of Bureau of Land Management Land.--In exchange for
the land described in subsection (b), the Secretary of the Interior
shall convey to River Bottom Farms of La Paz County, Arizona, all
right, title and interest of the United States in and to certain
Federal land administered by the Secretary through the Bureau of Land
Management consisting of a total of approximately 80 acres in Riverside
County, California, identified as ``Parcel A'' on Map 1. The conveyed
land shall be subject to valid existing rights, including easements,
rights-of-way, utility lines, and any other valid encumbrances on the
land as of the date of the conveyance under this section.
(b) Consideration.--As consideration for the conveyance of the
Federal land under subsection (a), River Bottom Farms shall convey to
the United States all right, title, and interest of River Bottom Farms
in and to two parcels of land contiguous to the Cibola National
Wildlife Refuge in La Paz County, Arizona, consisting of a total of
approximately 40 acres in La Paz County, Arizona, identified as
``Parcel 301-05-005B-9'' and ``Parcel 301-05-008-0'' on Map 2.
(c) Equal Value Exchange.--The values of the Federal land and non-
Federal land to be exchanged under this section shall be equal or
equalized by the payment of cash to the Secretary by River Bottom
Farms, if appropriate, pursuant to section 206(b) of the Federal Land
Policy Management Act (43 U.S.C. 1716(b)). The value of the land shall
be determined by the Secretary through an appraisal performed by a
qualified appraiser mutually agreed to by the Secretary and River
Bottom Farms and performed in conformance with the Uniform Appraisal
Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (U.S. Department of Justice,
December 2000). If the final appraised value of the non-Federal land
(``Parcel 301-05-005B-9'' and ``Parcel 301-05-008-0'' on Map 2) exceeds
the value of the Federal land (``Parcel A'' on Map 1), the surplus
value of the non-Federal land shall be considered to be a donation by
River Bottom Farms to the United States.
(d) Exchange Timetable.--The Secretary shall complete the land
exchange under this section not later than one year after the date of
the expiration of any existing Bureau of Land Management lease
agreement or agreements affecting the Federal land (``Parcel A'' on Map
1) to be exchanged under this section, unless the Secretary and River
Bottom Farms mutually agree to extend such deadline.
(e) Administration of Acquired Land.--The land acquired by the
Secretary under subsection (b) shall become part of the Cibola National
Wildlife Refuge and be administered in accordance with the laws and
regulations generally applicable to the National Wildlife Refuge
System.
