SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Utah Recreational Land Exchange Act 
of 2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the area surrounding the Colorado River in Grand 
        County, Utah, and Dinosaur National Monument and the Book 
        Cliffs in Uintah County, Utah, contains nationally recognized 
        scenic values, significant archaeological and historic 
        resources, valuable wildlife habitat, and outstanding 
        opportunities for public recreation that are enjoyed by 
        hundreds of thousands of people annually;
            (2) the State of Utah owns multiple parcels of land in the 
        area that were granted to the State under the Act of July 16, 
        1894 (28 Stat. 107, chapter 138), to be held in trust for the 
        benefit of the public school system and other public 
        institutions of the State;
            (3) the parcels of State trust land are largely scattered 
        in checkerboard fashion amid the Federal land comprising the 
        area of the Colorado River corridor, the Dinosaur National 
        Monument, and the Book Cliffs;
            (4) the State trust land in the area of the Colorado River 
        corridor, Dinosaur National monument, and the Book Cliffs 
        contains significant natural and recreational values, 
        including--
                    (A) portions of Westwater Canyon of the Colorado 
                River;
                    (B) the nationally recognized Kokopelli and 
                Slickrock trails;
                    (C) several of the largest natural rock arches in 
                the United States;
                    (D) multiple wilderness study areas and proposed 
                wilderness areas; and
                    (E) viewsheds for Arches National Park and Dinosaur 
                National Monument;
            (5) the large presence of State trust land located in the 
        Colorado River corridor, Dinosaur National Monument, and the 
        Book Cliffs area makes land and resource management in the area 
        more difficult, costly, and controversial for the United States 
        and the State of Utah;
            (6) although the State trust land was granted to the State 
        to generate financial support for public schools in the State 
        through the sale or development of natural resources, 
        development of those resources in the Colorado River corridor, 
        Dinosaur National Monument, and the Book Cliffs area would be 
        incompatible with managing the area for recreational, natural, 
        and scenic values;
            (7) the United States owns land and interests in land in 
        other parts of the State of Utah that can be transferred to the 
        State in exchange for the State trust land without jeopardizing 
        Federal management objectives or needs; and
            (8) it is in the public interest to exchange federally-
        owned land in the State for the Utah State trust land located 
        in the Colorado River Corridor, Dinosaur National Monument, and 
        the Book Cliffs area, on terms that are fair to the United 
        States and the State of Utah.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to authorize, 
facilitate, and expedite the exchange of certain Federal land and non-
Federal land in the State to further the public interest by--
            (1) exchanging Federal land that has limited recreational 
        and conservation values; and
            (2) acquiring State trust land with important recreational, 
        scenic, and conservation values for permanent public management 
        and use.
