Example Input: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the historical significance of the 52-mile Going-to-
        the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Montana, is recognized 
        by its--
                    (A) listing on the National Register of Historic 
                Places in 1983;
                    (B) designation as a National Historic Engineering 
                Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 
                1985; and
                    (C) designation as a National Historic Landmark in 
                1997;
            (2) in 1997, recommendations of the Federal Highway 
        Administration concerning, and an engineering study of, the 
        Road verified significant structural damage to the Road has 
        occurred since the Road opened in 1932;
            (3) infrastructure at most of the developed areas in the 
        Park is inadequate for cold-season (fall, winter, and spring) 
        operation, and maintenance backlog needs exist for normal 
        summer operation;
            (4) the Many Glacier Hotel and Lake McDonald Lodge are on 
        the National Register of Historic Places and are National 
        Historic Landmarks;
            (5) other accommodations operated by the concessionaire 
        that have possessory interest and are listed on the National 
        Register of Historic Places are the Rising Sun Motor Inn and 
        Swiftcurrent Motel;
            (6) the historic hotels in the Park, operated under 
        concession agreements with the National Park Service, are 
        essential for public use and enjoyment of the Park;
            (7) visitors to the Park deserve safe hotels in the Park 
        that meet basic needs and expectations;
            (8) the historic hotels in the Park have deteriorated 
        significantly and need substantial repair;
            (9) repairs of the hotels in the Park have been deferred 
        for so long that, absent any changes to the Federal law 
        governing concessionaires and the availability of historic tax 
        credits for up to 39.5 years, the remodeling costs for the 
        hotels exceed the capacity of the hotel concessionaire to 
        finance the repairs with hotel revenues;
            (10) the remodeling costs of Park hotels are so high that 
        the concessionaire will need to finance the cost of those 
        repairs by borrowing the remodeling expenses and repaying them 
        over time out of net hotel income, which by current law is 
        limited to 20-year concession agreements;
            (11) the season of operation for hotels is about 4 months 
        because the developed areas of the Park lack--
                    (A) water, sewer, and fire protection systems that 
                can operate in freezing conditions;
                    (B) building insulation; and
                    (C) heating systems;
            (12) because of many factors, including the high projected 
        costs of remodeling, the relatively short tourist season in the 
        Park, and the requirement that concession agreements may not 
        exceed 20 years, concessionaires are unable to carry out the 
        scope of remodeling that is needed for the hotels in the Park;
            (13) the National Park Service Concessions Management 
        Improvement Act of 1998 (16 U.S.C. 5951 et seq.) is based on 
        sound principles and is achieving its basic purposes, but there 
        appear to be selected instances in which the National Park 
        Service needs additional authority to conduct demonstration 
        projects; and
            (14) a demonstration project is needed to carry out repairs 
        of the historic hotels in the Park.

                    (B) Guidelines.--To the maximum extent practicable,

        adjacent landholder submits a request under paragraph (1)(A) 
        for conveyance of a parcel of National Forest System land or 
        public lands, the Director concerned or the Regional Forester 
        concerned shall review the parcel and determine, within 30 days 
        after receipt of the request, whether the parcel satisfies the 
        definition of eligible Federal lands parcel for conveyance.
            (4) Rejection of adjacent landholder request.--If the 
        Director concerned or the Regional Forester concerned 
        determines under paragraph (2) that all or a portion of the 
        parcel of National Forest System land or public lands covered 
        by an adjacent landholder request under paragraph (1)(A) fails 
        to satisfy the definition of eligible Federal lands parcel, the

        give the landowner--
                    (A) a written explanation of the reasons for the 
                rejection, which specifies--

                        of eligible Federal lands parcel the parcel 
                        fails to satisfy and how and why the parcel 
                        fails to satisfy that element;
                            (ii) how the continued administration of 
                        the parcel by the Bureau of Land Management or 
                        the Forest Service would impact the parcel and 
                        surrounding economy; and
                            (iii) why the Federal Government needs to 
                        maintain ownership of the parcel and would be 
                        the best land ownership steward of the parcel; 
                        and
                    (B) an opportunity to appeal the rejection under 
                subsection (e).

            (2) Number of parcels.--An adjacent landholder may only 
        acquire one eligible Federal lands parcel under this section 
        per year, except that, if the parcel is less than 160 acres in 
        size, the adjacent landholder may acquire additional eligible 
        Federal lands parcels during that year so long as the total 
        acreage acquired does not exceed 160 acres unless a request for 
        additional acreage is approved by the Director concerned or the 
        Regional Forester concerned.
    (d) Conveyance Process.--
            (1) Public notice.--The Director concerned or the Regional 
        Forester concerned shall provide public notice of the

        in which the parcel shares a boundary with only a single parcel 
        of non-Federal land or with multiple parcels owned by the same 
        adjacent landholder. The notice shall state that the parcel 
        satisfies the definition of eligible Federal lands parcel for 
        conveyance.
            (2) Single adjacent landholder.--If the eligible Federal 
        lands parcel shares a boundary with only a single parcel of

        Forester concerned shall carry out a negotiated sale of the 
        eligible Federal lands parcel with the adjacent landholder.
            (3) Multiple adjacent landholders.--If multiple parcels of

        conducted using competitive bidding procedures established 
        under section 203(f) of the Federal Land Policy and Management

            (4) Rejection of offers.--The Director concerned or the 
        Regional Forester concerned may reject any offer made under 
        this subsection that does not offer the minimum consideration 
        required by subsection (f). The adjacent landholder shall be 
        given an opportunity to appeal the rejection under subsection 
        (e).
            (5) Compliance with local planning and zoning.--As a 
        condition of the conveyance of an eligible public lands parcel 
        under this section, the Director concerned or the Regional 
        Forester concerned shall require the purchaser of the parcel to 
        agree to comply with all local land use ordinances and any 
        master zoning plan applicable to the parcel or the adjacent 
        non-Federal land of the purchaser.
            (6) Form of conveyance.--When an eligible Federal lands

        estate, of the United States in and to the parcel.
    (e) Appeals Process.--
            (1) Availability of appeal.--If the Director concerned or

        request under subsection (b)(1)(A) for selection of a parcel of 
        National Forest System land or public lands for conveyance 
        under this section or rejects an adjacent landholder offer for 
        purchase of an eligible Federal lands parcel under subsection 
        (d), the Director concerned or the Regional Forester concerned 
        shall provide an appeals process for reconsideration of the 
        rejection using the expedited Forest Service appeals process 
        available under section 322(d) of Public Law 102-381 (16 U.S.C.

        submitted by the adjacent landholder seeking to purchase the 
        parcel, unless the Director concerned or the Regional Forester 
        concerned rejects such appraisal within 45 days after 
        submission. In the case of the rejection of the appraisal, the 
        Director concerned or the Regional Forester concerned shall 
        cause another appraisal to be conducted, within 30 days, in 
        accordance with the regulations regarding appraisals issued 
        under section 206(f) of the Federal Land Policy and Management

        the conveyance. Amounts so credited shall be merged with 
        amounts in such fund or account, and shall be available for the 
        same purposes, and subject to the same conditions and 
        limitations, as amounts in such fund or account.
    (i) Time for Conveyance.--It is the intent of the Congress that the 
conveyance of an eligible Federal lands parcel under this section, from 
selection of the parcel for conveyance through completion of the sale, 
should take no more than 18 months.
    (j) Categorical Exclusion.--Because the scope of a conveyance is 
limited and excluded from any exceptional resource, a conveyance of an 
eligible Federal lands parcel under this section is categorically 
excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or 
an environmental impact statement under the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
    (k) Additional Authority.--The conveyance authority provided by 
this section is in addition to the sale authority provided by section 
203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 
1713) or any other provision of law.
Example Output:
Small Lands Tracts Conveyance Act  Requires the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for a state (respecting certain public lands) or the Forest Service (respecting certain National Forest System lands) to select an eligible federal lands parcel for conveyance: (1) in response to a request by an adjacent landholder (any holder of non-federal land that shares one or more boundaries with such a parcel and who requests to purchase such a parcel), or (2) upon the recommendation of the BLM District Office or System unit that exercises administration over such parcel.  Directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of the Interior to each create a process by which an adjacent landholder may request to purchase an eligible parcel. Instructs that such process be open to the public and available on the Internet. Bars a conveyed eligible parcel from exceeding 160 acres unless the BLM or the Forest Service approves a request for additional acreage. Permits acquisition by an adjacent landholder of only one eligible parcel a year, subject to an exception.  Instructs the BLM or the Forest Service, as consideration for the sale of an eligible parcel, to require a cash payment in an amount equal to at least the fair market value of such parcel, including the mineral estate, being conveyed.  Requires the proceeds collected from such conveyances to be deposited into a special fund established by this Act and distributed annually to each state in which the federal government owns more than 33% of the land area of such state. Requires, from amounts collected and deposited: (1) 50% of the amount collected from a conveyance to be distributed to the state in which the conveyance took place, and (2) the remaining 50% to be distributed equally between the remaining states identified pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Requires states receiving such funds to use them only for: (1) purchasing additional eligible parcels consistent with land use management under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act; and (2) complying with requirements under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act), and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).  Requires the purchaser of an eligible federal lands parcel under this Act to cover the costs to be incurred, or to reimburse the BLM or the Forest Service for the costs incurred, in carrying out the conveyance.  Excludes categorically a conveyance of an eligible federal lands parcel under this Act from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement under NEPA.  (A categorical exclusion under NEPA is a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and which have been found to have no such effect in procedures adopted by a federal agency in implementing environmental regulations and for which, therefore, neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is required.)
