This legislation mandates the Secretary of Agriculture to issue a 10-year special use permit for the maintenance of a flagpole displaying the United States flag at Kyhv Peak Lookout Point in Utah.

The Secretary is authorized to impose terms and conditions for proper flagpole care and to grant reasonable access to the site.
