SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge 
Settlement Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Secretary of the Interior and the State of Utah 
        have negotiated a preliminary agreement concerning the 
        ownership of lands within the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge 
        located in Bear River Bay of the Great Salt Lake, Utah.
            (2) The State is entitled to ownership of those sovereign 
        lands constituting the bed of the Great Salt Lake, and, 
        generally, the location of the sovereign lands boundary was set 
        by an official survey of the Great Salt Lake meander line.
            (3) The establishment of the Refuge in 1928 along the shore 
        of the Great Salt Lake, and lack of a meander line survey 
        within the Refuge, has led to uncertainty of ownership of some 
        those sovereign lands.
            (4) In order to settle the uncertainty concerning the 
        sovereign land boundary caused by the gap in the surveyed Great 
        Salt Lake meander line within the Refuge, the Secretary and the 
        State have agreed to the establishment of a fixed sovereign 
        land boundary along the southern boundary of the Refuge and the 
        State has agreed to release any claim to the lake bed above 
        such boundary line.
            (5) The Secretary and the State have expressed their 
        intentions to establish a mutually agreed upon procedure to 
        address the conflicting claims to ownership of the lands and 
        interests in land within the Refuge.
