SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Bountiful City Land Consolidation

    (a) Land Exchange.--During the two-year period beginning on the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the City of Bountiful, Utah (in this 
section referred to as the ``City''), may acquire, by exchange, all 
right, title, and interest of the United States in and to all or a 
portion of a parcel of National Forest System land in the Wasatch-Cache 
National Forest in Township 2, North, Range 1 East, Salt Lake Meridian 
consisting of approximately 220 acres, a portion of which is used under 
permit for a shooting range, as depicted on the map entitled 
``Bountiful City Land Consolidation Act''. In exercising the authority 
provided by this subsection, the City shall first acquire the portion 
of the parcel containing the shooting range.
    (b) Consideration.--
            (1) Conveyance of city lands.--As consideration for the 
        acquisition of Federal land by the City under subsection (a), 
        the City shall convey to the Secretary of Agriculture all 
        right, title, and interest of the City in and to certain lands 
        depicted on the map referred to in subsection (a) and having a 
        market value equal to the market value of the acquired Federal 
        land.
            (2) Market value.--The market value of the Federal land to 
        be acquired by the City under subsection (a) and the City lands 
        to be conveyed under this subsection shall be determined in

            (4) Cash equalization payment.--If the market value of the 
        Federal land to be acquired by the City under subsection (a) 
        exceeds the market value of the lands to be conveyed by the 
        City under this subsection, the Secretary may accept a cash 
        equalization payment to make up the difference in value. The 
        Secretary may accept a cash equalization payment under this 
        paragraph in excess of the amount authorized by section 206(b)

disposed of by competitive means, and the Secretary may reject any 
offer regardless of amount if the Secretary considers the offer to not 
be in the public interest.

Secretary under this section shall be added to and administered as part 
of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest and managed in accordance with the

        484a).
            (2) Use.--Amounts deposited pursuant to paragraph (1) shall
