offers to transfer to the United States the lands identified in 
paragraph (2) in exchange for the lands identified in paragraph (4), 
selected from the area described in section 3(b)(1), the Secretary of 
the Interior (in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall 
complete such exchange no later than 6 months after the issuance of a 
license to Gustavus Electric Company by the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (in this Act referred to as ``FERC''), in accordance with 
this Act. This land exchange shall be subject to the laws applicable to 
exchanges involving lands managed by the Secretary as part of the 
National Park System in Alaska and the appropriate process for the 
exchange of State lands required by State law.
    (2) The lands to be conveyed to the United States by the State of 
Alaska shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Secretary and the 
State of Alaska. Lands that will be considered for conveyance to the 
United States pursuant to the process required by State law are lands 
owned by the State of Alaska in the Long Lake area within Wrangell-St. 
Elias National Park and Preserve, or other lands owned by the State of 
Alaska.
    (3) If the Secretary and the State of Alaska have not agreed on 
which lands the State of Alaska will convey by a date not later than 6 
months after a license is issued pursuant to this Act, the United 
States shall accept, within 1 year after a license is issued, title to 
land having a sufficiently equal value to satisfy State and Federal 
law, subject to clear title and valid existing rights, and absence of 
environmental contamination, and as provided by the laws applicable to 
exchanges involving lands managed by the Secretary as part of the 
National Park System in Alaska and the appropriate process for the 
exchange of State lands required by State law. Such land shall be 
accepted by the United States, subject to the other provisions of this

[A]:
National Forest Jobs and Management Act of 2014 - Authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture (USDA) to conduct projects that involve the management or sale of national forest material (covered projects) within certain National Forest System (NFS) lands (Forest Management Emphasis Areas).  Makes timber sale contracts under the National Forest Management Act of 1976 the primary means for carrying out covered projects under this Act.  Requires the Secretary to identify, prioritize, and carry out covered projects in Forest Management Emphasis Areas that mechanically treat a total of at least 7.5 million acres in such areas during a specified 15-year period.  Requires the Secretary to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) by completing an environmental assessment of the direct environmental effects of each proposed covered project, limited to the proposed agency action and one alternative.  Requires administrative review of covered projects to occur only in accordance with the special administrative review process established by the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003.  Establishes a pilot program in the USDA that: (1) authorizes the use of arbitration instead of judicial review of a decision made following the special administrative process for a covered project, and (2) shall be the only means to challenge a covered project in a Forest Management Emphasis Area during the 15-year period. Directs the Secretary, for FY2015 and each fiscal year until termination of this Act, to make to each county in which a covered project is carried out annual payments of 25% of the amounts received from that project.  Requires the Secretary, after making such payments, to use amounts received from covered projects during such period to make deposits into the fund established under the Knutson-Vandenburg Act and the fund established under the National Forest Management Act of 1976 in contributions equal to the amounts collected under those Acts for projects conducted on NFS lands. Requires the Secretary to develop performance measures that evaluate the degree to which this Act's purposes and the minimum acreage requirements are being achieved.
