        notice of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) is 
        contaminated, and the Secretary of the Interior, in 
        consultation with the Secretary concerned, determines that 
        decontamination is practicable and economically feasible 
        (taking into consideration the potential future use and value 
        of the land) and that, upon decontamination, the land could be 
        opened to operation of some or all of the public land laws, 
        including the mining laws and the mineral leasing and 
        geothermal leasing laws, the Secretary concerned shall 
        decontaminate the land to the extent that funds are 
        appropriated for such purpose.
            ``(2) Alternatives.--If the Secretary of the Interior, 
        after consultation with the Secretary concerned, concludes that 
        decontamination of land subject of a notice of intention to 
        relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) is not practicable or 
        economically feasible, or that the land cannot be 
        decontaminated sufficiently to be opened to operation of some 
        or all of the public land laws, or if Congress does not 
        appropriate sufficient funds for the decontamination of such 
        land, the Secretary of the Interior shall not be required to 
        accept the land proposed for relinquishment.
            ``(3) Status of contaminated lands upon termination.--If, 
        because of their contaminated state, the Secretary of the 
        Interior declines to accept the lands withdrawn and reserved by 
        a subchapter of this chapter which have been proposed for 
        relinquishment, or if at the expiration of the withdrawal and 
        reservation made by such subchapter the Secretary of the 
        Interior determines that some of the lands withdrawn and 
        reserved by such subchapter are contaminated to an extent which 
        prevents opening such contaminated lands to operation of the 
        public land laws--
                    ``(A) the Secretary concerned shall take 
                appropriate steps to warn the public of the 
                contaminated state of such lands and any risks 
                associated with entry onto such lands;
                    ``(B) after the expiration of the withdrawal and 
                reservation, the Secretary concerned shall undertake no 
                activities on such lands except in connection with 
                decontamination of such lands; and
                    ``(C) the Secretary concerned shall report to the 
                Secretary of the Interior and to the Congress 
                concerning the status of such lands and all actions 
                taken in furtherance of this paragraph.
    ``(e) Revocation Authority.--Upon deciding that it is in the public 
interest to accept the lands proposed for relinquishment pursuant to 
subsection (a), the Secretary of the Interior may order the revocation 
of a withdrawal and reservation established by a subchapter of this 
chapter as it applies to such lands. The Secretary of the Interior 
shall publish in the Federal Register the revocation order, which 
shall--
            ``(1) terminate the withdrawal and reservation;
            ``(2) constitute official acceptance of the lands by the 
        Secretary of the Interior; and
            ``(3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to 
        the operation of some or all of the public land laws, including 
        the mining laws.
    ``(f) Acceptance by Secretary of the Interior.--Nothing in this 
section shall be construed to require the Secretary of the Interior to 
accept the lands proposed for relinquishment if the Secretary 
determines that such lands are not suitable for return to the public 
domain. If the Secretary makes such a determination, the Secretary 
shall provide notice of the determination to Congress.
``Sec. 2944. Interchanges and transfers of Federal lands
    ``(a) Authority.--The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary 
concerned may interchange or transfer between each other parcels of

        approximately the same acreage.
            ``(4) The parcel to be transferred must be located on the 
        military installation to which it is transferred.
            ``(5) The parcel interchanged or transferred by the

        Secretary concerned must be under the administrative 
        jurisdiction of the Secretary concerned and excess to the needs 
        of the Department of Defense.
