A bill to transfer administrative jurisdiction over certain parcels of Federal land in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and for other purposes.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill transfers administrative jurisdiction over federal land parcels in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, between the National Park Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. About 25 acres move from the Secretary of the Interior to CBP for the Advanced Training Center, and about 71.51 acres move from CBP to the Secretary of the Interior for Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
The transfers are made without reimbursement or consideration, require a map and legal descriptions to stay on file, and keep the affected land subject to valid existing rights.
Who Benefits and How
U.S. Customs and Border Protection benefits by receiving land to administer as part of its Advanced Training Center. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and the National Park Service benefit by receiving three parcels for park administration and boundary management.
Visitors, park managers, and local Harpers Ferry stakeholders benefit from clearer federal jurisdiction over which parcels belong to the historical park and which belong to CBP training operations.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection must execute the jurisdictional transfers, maintain the map and legal descriptions, and administer the parcels under applicable law.
Neither agency receives reimbursement for the transfer, and each takes on management duties for the parcels it receives.
