transfer to the administrative jurisdiction of the Sec-
retary under any provision of law and which prop-
erty, at the time of the proposed transfer to Koniag
is not generating receipts to the Federal Govern-
ment in excess of $1,000,000 per year. The Sec-
retary shall keep Koniag advised in a timely manner
as to which properties may be available for such
transfer. Upon receipt of such identification by
Koniag, the Secretary shall request in a timely man-
ner the transfer of such identified property to the
administrative jurisdiction of the Department of the
Interior. Such property shall not be subject to the
geographic limitations of section 206(b) of the Fed-

transferring it to Koniag to complete the exchange.
Should the value of the property so identified by

lection rights, then Koniag shall have the option of
(A) declining to proceed with the exchange and iden-
tifying other property, or (B) paying the difference
in value between the property rights.

the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C.

make a payment to equalize the value in any such
exchange, then Koniag will be deemed to hold an un-
divided interest in the property equal in value to
such payment which interest shall not be subject to
the provisions of section 7(i) of that Act.
(d) AUTHORITY TO APPOINT AND REMOVE TRUST-
EE.—In establishing a Settlement Trust under section 39
of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C.
1629c), Koniag may delegate, in whole or in part, the au-
thority granted to Koniag under subsection (b)(2) of such
section to any entity that Koniag may select without af-
fecting the status of the trust as a Settlement Trust under
such section.
