SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

Land Exchange Act''.

       TITLE I--TONTO AND COCONINO NATIONAL FORESTS LAND EXCHANGE

SEC. 101. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Certain private lands adjacent to the Montezuma Castle 
        National Monument in Yavapai County, Arizona, are desirable for 
        Federal acquisition to protect important riparian values along 
        Beaver Creek and the scenic backdrop for the National Monument.
            (2) Certain other inholdings in the Coconino National 
        Forest are desirable for Federal acquisition to protect 
        important public values near Double Cabin Park.
            (3) Approximately 108 acres of land within the Tonto 
        National Forest, northeast of Payson, Arizona, are currently 
        occupied by 45 residential cabins under special use permits 
        from the Secretary of Agriculture, and have been so occupied 
        since the mid-1950s, rendering such lands of limited use and 
        enjoyment potential for the general public. Such lands are, 
        therefore, appropriate for transfer to the cabin owners in 
        exchange for lands that will have higher public use values.
            (4) In return for the privatization of such encumbered 
        lands the Secretary of Agriculture has been offered 
        approximately 495 acres of non-Federal land (known as the Q 
        Ranch) within the Tonto National Forest, east of Young, 
        Arizona, in an area where the Secretary has completed previous 
        land exchanges to consolidate public ownership of National 
        Forest lands.
            (5) The acquisition of the Q Ranch non-Federal lands by the 
        Secretary will greatly increase National Forest management 
        efficiency and promote public access, use, and enjoyment of the 
        area and surrounding National Forest System lands.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to authorize, direct, 
facilitate, and expedite the consummation of the land exchanges set 
forth herein in accordance with the terms and conditions of this title.
