                    (A) Lands under the control of the Federal 
                Government that--
                            (i) were initially designated as Hawaiian 
                        home lands under section 203 of the Hawaiian 
                        Homes Commission Act (as in effect on the date

                    (C)(i) Except as provided in clause (ii), the 
                determinations of value made under this subsection 
                shall be made not later than 1 year after the date of 
                enactment of this Act. In carrying out this subsection, 
                the Secretary shall use a method of determining value 
                that--
                            (I) is acceptable to the Chairperson; and

                        beneficiaries.
                    (ii) The Secretary and the Chairperson may mutually 
                agree to extend the deadline for making determinations 
                under this subparagraph beyond the date specified in 
                clause (i).
                    (D)(i) Except as provided in clause (iii), if the

                determinations of values made by the Secretary under 
                subparagraphs (A) and (B), such values shall be 
                determined by an appraisal. An appraisal conducted 
                under this subparagraph shall be conducted in 
                accordance with the Uniform Standards for Federal Land 
                Acquisitions developed by the Interagency Land 
                Acquisition Conference or such other standards as the

                        Secretary;
                            (II) the Secretary shall provide the 
                        Chairperson a preliminary copy of the 
                        appraisal;
                            (III) the Chairperson shall have a 
                        reasonable and sufficient opportunity to 
                        comment on the preliminary copy of the 
                        appraisal; and
                            (IV) the Secretary shall give consideration 
                        to the comments and evidence of value submitted

                resolution to make the determinations of values 
                described in subparagraphs (A) and (B).

                pursuant to such exchange.
                    (ii) For the purposes of this paragraph, the value 
                of any lands exchanged pursuant to subparagraph (A)

                    (ii) For the purposes of this paragraph, the value 
                of any lands conveyed pursuant to subparagraph (C)

                    (iii) No Federal lands that generate income (or 
                would be expected to generate income) for the Federal 
                Government may be conveyed pursuant to an exchange made
