SECTION 1. BEAVER AIRPORT LAND AMENDMENT.

    (a) Release of Reverter Condition.--The Secretary of the Interior 
shall execute such instruments as are necessary to release the 
condition that the land revert to the United States if the land is not 
used for airport purposes from a portion of land situated adjacent to 
the community of Beaver, Alaska, conveyed pursuant to Patent No. 50-69-
0130 and dated August 23, 1968. The Secretary shall ensure that the 
release executed pursuant to this subsection--
            (1) applies only to approximately 33 acres of land 
        identified as tracts II through VI of the Beaver Airport, a 
        part of U.S. Survey No. 3798, Alaska (referred to in this 
        section as the ``community expansion land'');
            (2) is without any requirement for receipt of fair market 
        value for the release and conveyance of the conditions 
        otherwise applicable to the community expansion land; and
            (3) is contingent on the conveyance by the State of Alaska 
        of the community expansion land to the Beaver Kwit'chin 
        Corporation, the Village Corporation of the village of Beaver, 
        Alaska.
    (b) Reconveyance.--The Beaver Kwit'chin Corporation--
            (1) shall reconvey to any individual who currently occupies 
        a portion of the land referred to in subsection (a) or 
        successor in interest to such an individual, all right title 
        and interest of the Kwit'chin Corporation in and to such land 
        as is currently occupied;
            (2) may subsequently--
                    (A) convey the remaining land to other individuals 
                or persons for community expansion purposes; or
                    (B) retain the remaining land in whole or in part 
                for community uses.
                                 <all>
