To require the Secretary of the Interior to transfer to the Secretary of the Navy administrative jurisdiction of certain land located on Adak Island, Alaska, and for other purposes.
Summary
AI Summary
This bill mandates the Secretary of the Interior to transfer administrative jurisdiction of approximately 5,624 acres of land on Adak Island, Alaska, to the Secretary of the Navy. This land is specifically designated for various military purposes, including use as an armament or testing site for high-hazard explosives. It will also facilitate training for aerial gunnery, rocketry, electronic warfare, and tactical maneuvering, alongside equipment and tactics development and testing.
Crucially, the legislation removes this specific parcel of land from the National Wildlife Refuge System and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, ensuring it is no longer subject to associated laws. The Secretary of the Interior is directed to adjust the boundaries of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge to reflect this change. This action, however, does not otherwise affect the broader National Wildlife Refuge System or other lands within the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge.
