This legislation authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to grant Crook County, Oregon , a permanent 80-foot wide right-of-way. This right-of-way extends from Oregon Route 380 to Juniper Canyon Road, facilitating the construction of a new road in Juniper Canyon and ensuring permanent public access. Additionally, the bill mandates the conveyance of four approximately 40-acre parcels of land to Crook County without consideration. These parcels are primarily intended for establishing and maintaining fire safe zones , which are crucial for emergency response and firefighter safety during wildfires. The conveyance is subject to valid existing rights and includes a reversionary clause , allowing the property to revert to the United States if it is no longer maintained as fire safe zones by the County.
