 To provide for the acquisition of five isolated parcels of land owned 
by the State of Utah, under the control of the Utah National Guard, and 
withdrawn for military use as part of Camp Williams, Utah, in exchange 
 for a consolidated parcel of public land of approximate equal value, 
   also within the boundaries of Camp Williams, necessary for future 
                       military mission training.

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

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Utah National Guard Lands 
Consolidation Act''.

SEC. 2. LAND EXCHANGE, CAMP WILLIAMS, UTAH.

    (a) Acquisition of State Land Authorized.--The Secretary of the 
Interior, acting through the Bureau of Land Management, shall accept 
ownership of all right, title, and interest in and to certain lands 
comprising approximately 931 acres owned by the State of Utah and 
located within the boundaries of the public lands currently withdrawn 
for military use by the Utah National Guard as ``Camp Williams'', as 
generally depicted on a map entitled ``Camp Williams Land Exchange'' 
and dated April 9, 2007, if such lands are offered to the Secretary by 
the State of Utah.
    (b) Conveyance of Federal Land Authorized.--In exchange for the 
State lands acquired under subsection (a), the Secretary shall convey 
to the State of Utah all right, title, and interest of the United 
States in and to public lands within the boundaries of Camp Williams of 
substantially equal value to the acquired lands.
    (c) Conditions of Land Exchange.--The land exchange shall be 
subject to the following conditions:
            (1) Location of land transferred.--The land to be conveyed 
        to the State of Utah by the Secretary shall be selected in 
        consultation with the Governor of Utah, and shall be located 
        adjacent to existing Camp Williams' facilities and 
        infrastructure, and have access to State of Utah Route 68, as 
        generally depicted as ``selected lands'' on the map referred to 
        in subsection (a).
            (2) Valuation of parcels.--The valuation of lands accepted 
        by the Secretary and lands conveyed to the State of Utah shall 
        be determined by the Secretary in accordance with the Uniform 
        Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisition, except that 
        the appraisal of the land shall only take into consideration 
        their value as noncommercial lands used for military purposes.
            (3) Administrative costs.--In the absence of a mutual 
        agreement between the Secretary and the Governor of Utah 
        respecting administrative costs necessary to carry out this 
        section, the Secretary and the State of Utah shall share the 
        costs equally.
    (d) Reversionary Interest.--The lands conveyed to the State of Utah 
shall be subject to a reversionary interest that such lands shall 
revert back to ownership of the United States if they are sold or 
attempted to be sold, or if they are used solely for nondefense, 
commercial purposes. It is not a violation of the reversionary interest 
for the State of Utah to lease the lands to commercial interests if 
such leases facilitate public-private partnerships for the construction 
and operation of buildings, facilities, roads, or other infrastructure 
that support the Utah National Guard mission or for other public 
purposes.
    (e) Management of Acquired Lands.--The lands acquired by the 
Secretary under subsection (a) shall be managed by the Bureau of Land 
Management as withdrawn public lands for military use, in the same 
manner and to the same extent as adjacent public lands within the 
boundaries of Camp Williams.
    (f) Time for Exchange.--The land exchange provided for under this 
section shall occur not later than 120 days after the date on which the 
lands described in subsection (a) are offered to the Secretary by the 
State of Utah, and no futher environmental review is required before 
the Secretary may proceed with the land exchange.
                                 <all>
