This legislation authorizes a specific land exchange between the Department of Homeland Security and Caza Ranches LLC in Artesia, New Mexico. It facilitates the transfer of approximately 160 acres of Federal land , currently part of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC), to Caza Ranches LLC in exchange for an equal amount of non-Federal land. The acquired non-Federal land will be incorporated into the FLETC facilities to support its training mission, allowing for the erection of new structures. Upon completion, the boundaries of the FLETC will be adjusted to reflect the new land holdings, ensuring the efficient use of land for federal law enforcement training. The exchange is contingent upon Caza Ranches LLC's offer and the Secretary's acceptance, with the value of both parcels deemed equal. All costs associated with the exchange will be shared equally between the Secretary and Caza Ranches LLC, and the terms will be formalized in a written agreement. Minor boundary adjustments and corrections to maps or descriptions are permitted by mutual agreement to ensure accuracy.
