This bill would authorize the exchange of private land and business interests at Cooper Spur for Forest Service land at Government Camp in Oregon. Specifically, Congress asked that we determine whether the appraisal reports supporting this land exchange were prepared in compliance with recognized appraisal standards, namely, appraisal industry standards as defined in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices (USPAP) and federal standards as defined in the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA). https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1135R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1135R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1135R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1135R.pdf GAO-06-1135R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1135R Correspondence GAO-06-1135R; Federal Land Exchange: Assessment of Mount Hood Land Appraisal Reports; Appraisals Auditing standards Land management Land transfers Proposed legislation Public lands
