Act''.

SEC. 2. CONVEYANCE TO LANDER COUNTY, NEVADA.

        late 1800's of the cemetery known as ``Kingston Cemetery'' in 
        Kingston, Nevada, predates incorporation of the land within the 
        jurisdiction of the Forest Service on which the cemetery is 
        situated;
            (2) it is appropriate that that use be continued through 
        local public ownership of the parcel rather than through the 
        permitting process of the Federal agency;

        conveyed to the Town of Kingston 1.25 acres of the land on 
        which historic gravesites have been identified; and
            (4) to ensure that all areas that may have unmarked 
        gravesites are included, and to ensure the availability of 
        adequate gravesite space in future years, an additional parcel 
        consisting of approximately 8.75 acres should be conveyed to 
        the county so as to include the total amount of the acreage

        for the cemetery.

rights and the condition stated in subsection (e), the Secretary of 
Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service (referred

                Secretary, to be administered by the Secretary; and
                    (B) the easement granted to the county under
