   To require a transfer of jurisdiction for development of an Armed 
              Forces recreation facility, Park City, Utah.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. TRANSFER OF JURISDICTION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ARMED FORCES 
              RECREATION FACILITY, PARK CITY, UTAH.

    (a) Transfer Required.--(1) The Secretary of the Interior shall 
transfer, without reimbursement, to the administrative jurisdiction of 
the Secretary of the Air Force a parcel of real property in Park City, 
Utah, including any improvements thereon, that consists of 
approximately 35 acres, is located in township 2 south, range 4 east, 
Salt Lake meridian, and is designated as parcel 3 by the Bureau of Land 
Management.
    (2) The transfer shall be subject to existing rights, except that 
the Secretary of the Interior shall terminate any lease with respect to 
the parcel issued under the Act of June 14, 1926 (commonly known as the 
Recreation and Public Purposes Act; 43 U.S.C. 689 et seq.), and still 
in effect as of the date of the enactment of this Act.
    (3) The transfer required by this subsection shall be completed not 
later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act.
    (b) Use of Transferred Land.--(1) The Secretary of the Air Force 
may use the real property transferred under subsection (a) as the 
location for an armed forces recreation facility to be developed using 
non-appropriated funds.
    (2) The Secretary of the Air Force may return the transferred 
property (or property acquired in exchange for the transferred property 
under subsection (c)) to the administrative jurisdiction of the 
Secretary of the Interior at any time upon certifying that development 
of the armed forces recreation facility would not be in the best 
interests of the Government.
    (c) Subsequent Conveyance Authority.--(1) In lieu of developing the 
armed forces recreation facility on the real property transferred under 
subsection (a), the Secretary of the Air Force may convey or lease the 
property to the State of Utah, a local government, or a private entity 
in exchange for other property to be used as the site of the facility.
    (2) The values of the properties exchanged by the Secretary under 
this subsection 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 as the circumstances require. The conveyance or lease 
shall be on such other terms as the Secretary considers to be 
advantageous to the development of the facility.
    (d) Alternative Development Authority.--The Secretary of the Air 
Force may lease the real property transferred under subsection (a), or 
any property acquired pursuant to subsection (c), to another party and 
may enter into a contract with the party for the design, construction, 
and operation of the armed forces recreation facility. The Secretary 
may authorize the contractor to operate the facility as both a military 
and a commercial operation if the Secretary determines that such an 
authorization is a necessary incentive for the contractor to agree to 
design, construct, and operate the facility.
    (e) Legal Description.--The exact acreage and legal description of 
the real property to be transferred under subsection (a) shall be 
determined by a survey. The cost of the survey shall be borne by the 
Secretary of the Air Force.
