An original bill to require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey a parcel of property of the Forest Service to Perry County, Arkansas, and for other purposes.
Summary
What This Bill Does
The bill directs the Forest Service to convey a specific parcel to Perry County, Arkansas, after a written county request. It is a local public-land transfer that shifts federal property control to the county while requiring the Agriculture Secretary and Forest Service realty staff to process the conveyance under the bill's terms.
Who Benefits and How
Perry County benefits by receiving the specified Forest Service property for local public use or management. County residents benefit if the parcel supports county services, access, infrastructure, or community development. County officials benefit from a direct statutory conveyance path instead of a longer administrative disposal process. Forest Service land managers benefit from clear congressional direction for the specific parcel.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Agriculture Secretary must convey the property if Perry County submits the required written request. Forest Service realty staff must prepare the legal description, title documents, and transfer paperwork. Federal taxpayers give up federal property interests under the conveyance terms Congress sets. Existing users of the parcel may need to adjust to county rather than federal management.
Key Provisions
- Requires a written request from Perry County before the conveyance occurs.
- Directs the Agriculture Secretary to convey the specified Forest Service property.
- Transfers federal land control to Perry County under the bill's conditions.
