the approximately 61,440 acres of deficiency selections made by
Alexander Creek, as described in paragraph (1): Provided, That the
value of such subsurface estate shall not be less than 61,440
multiplied by the acre equivalent value of the Region's entitlement
lands under paragraph (2) of the second section of 12(b)(7)(iv) of the
Act of January 2, 1976 (Public Law 94-204). The funds added to the CIRI
Property Account pursuant to this subsection shall be segregated from
all other funds therein by a method to be mutually agreed by CIRI and
the Secretary of the Treasury.
''(e) Land Exchange.--The Secretary of the Interior shall enter
into negotiations with Alexander Creek, no later than 180 days after
the date of the enactment of this Act, to attempt to conclude, under
the authority of section 22(f), a land exchange to acquire lands not
within any conservation system unit from the State of Alaska or the
Matanuska-Susitna Borough under the same procedures set forth in
section 22(f) to enable Alexander Creek to obtain additional public
lands within Alexander Creek's original withdrawal area in Alaska, as
identified by Alexander Creek. The subsurface to lands conveyed to

the date of the enactment of this Act.
''(f) Adjustment in Account.--If a conveyance of surface estate is
made to Alexander Creek pursuant to subsection (e), the Alexander Creek
account shall be reduced by the amount of the actual acres conveyed
multiplied by the average value per acre of the surface acres appraised
under subsection (g). If a conveyance of subsurface estate is made to
the Region pursuant to subsection (d), the CIRI Property Account shall
be reduced by the amount of the actual acres conveyed multiplied by the
average value per acre of the subsurface acres appraised under
subsection (g).
''(g) Appraisal.--(1)(A) Subject to subsection (d)(2), the
Secretary shall determine the amount to be deposited into the Alexander
Creek and CIRI Property accounts by separately appraising, on a
reasonable basis, based on all available evidence, the fair market
value, as of the date of the enactment of this section, of the surface
and subsurface of each section selected as a separate parcel and
considering that 'public interest' use may be the highest and best use
of such parcels.
''(B) Alexander Creek and the Region shall each have the
opportunity to present evidence of value to the Secretary solely with
respect to the respective estates involved, comprising surface estate
for Alexander Creek and subsurface estate for the Region. The Secretary
shall provide Alexander Creek and the Region with a preliminary draft
of the appraisal. Alexander Creek and the Region shall have a
reasonable and sufficient opportunity to comment on the appraisal.
''(2) The Secretary shall forward a certified copy of the appraisal
of their separate and respective estates each to Alexander Creek, and
the Region.
''(h) Implementation.--(1) Alexander Creek may assign to any person
or corporation without restriction any or all of the Alexander Creek
account upon written notification to the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Secretary of the Interior. In the event that such an assignment is
made to the Region, on notice from Alexander Creek to the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Secretary of the Interior, and subject to the
written consent of the Region in its sole and absolute discretion, the
amount of such assignment shall be added to or made a part of the CIRI
Property Account, and may be used in the same manner as other funds in
that account.
''(2) Except for such lands as Alexander Creek has received prior
to enactment of this section, and such lands it is entitled to recover
as a Group Corporation, upon completion by the Secretary of the
Interior of the appraisal process pursuant to subsection (g), and
notification to the Secretary from Alexander Creek that Alexander Creek
accepts the results of the appraisal process, Alexander Creek shall be
deemed to have accepted the terms of this section in lieu of any other
land entitlement it could have received as a village pursuant to this
Act, including, without limitation, any lands it would have received
pursuant to section 12(b). Such acceptance shall satisfy all claims
Alexander Creek had or may have had against the United States on the
date of the enactment of this section.
''(3) Any land acquired by Alexander Creek with funds from the
Alexander Creek account shall be deemed to be a conveyance pursuant to
this Act.
''(i) Treatment of Amounts From the Alexander Creek Account.--The
Secretary of the Treasury and the heads of agencies shall administer
sales pursuant to this section in the same manner as is provided for
any other Native village authorized by law as of the date of the
enactment of this section (including the use of similar accounts for
bidding on and purchasing property sold for public sale).
''(j) Limitation on Agents' and Attorneys' Fees.--No more than 2.5
percent of payments received by or on behalf of Alexander Creek under
this section may be paid to or received by any agent or attorney for
services rendered in connection with obtaining such payment, any
contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person who violates this
subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a
fine in the amount provided in title 18, United States Code.
''(k) Shareholder Participation.--Alexander Creek shall notify each
member of the Native village recognized under this section that, upon
the effective date of this provision, such members shall cease to
receive benefits from the Region as at-large shareholders pursuant to
section 7(m), and that all future resource payments from the Region
shall be made to the Village Corporation pursuant to section 7(j). The
Region shall not be liable under any State, Federal or local law, or
under State or Federal common law, for damages arising out of or
related to the cessation of payments to such individuals under section
7(m) pursuant to this section.
''(l) Statutory Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed to--
''(1) limit, alter, violate, breach, or otherwise affect
the rights of any party under a contract, settlement agreement,
or land exchange entered into prior to enactment of this
section between Alexander Creek and any party, or one or more
parties to any contract, settlement, agreement, or land
exchange predicated upon Alexander Creek's Native village
status under this Act; or
''(2) diminish, reduce, or modify the acreage entitlement
to which Alexander Creek became entitled to as a Group
Corporation.''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) hydraulic fracturing is a commercially viable practice
that has been used in the United States for more than 60 years
in more than 1,000,000 wells;
(2) the Ground Water Protection Council, a national
association of State water regulators that is considered to be
a leading groundwater protection organization in the United
States, released a report entitled ''State Oil and Natural Gas
Regulations Designed to Protect Water Resources'' and dated May
2009 finding that the ''current State regulation of oil and gas
activities is environmentally proactive and preventive'';
(3) that report also concluded that ''[a]ll oil and gas
producing States have regulations which are designed to provide
protection for water resources'';
(4) a 2004 study by the Environmental Protection Agency,
entitled ''Evaluation of Impacts to Underground Sources of
Drinking Water by Hydraulic Fracturing of Coalbed Methane
Reservoirs'', found no evidence of drinking water wells
contaminated by fracture fluid from the fracked formation;
(5) a 2009 report by the Ground Water Protection Council,
entitled ''State Oil and Natural Gas Regulations Designed to
Protect Water Resources'', found a ''lack of evidence'' that
hydraulic fracturing conducted in both deep and shallow
formations presents a risk of endangerment to ground water;
(6) a January 2009 resolution by the Interstate Oil and Gas
Compact Commission stated ''The states, who regulate
production, have comprehensive laws and regulations to ensure
operations are safe and to protect drinking water. States have
found no verified cases of groundwater contamination associated
with hydraulic fracturing.'';
(7) on May 24, 2011, before the Oversight and Government
Reform Committee of the House of Representatives, Lisa Jackson,
the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency,
testified that she was ''not aware of any proven case where the
fracking process itself has affected water'';
(8) in 2011, Bureau of Land Management Director Bob Abbey
stated, ''We have not seen evidence of any adverse effect as a
result of the use of the chemicals that are part of that
fracking technology.'';
(9)(A) activities relating to hydraulic fracturing (such as
surface discharges, wastewater disposal, and air emissions) are
already regulated at the Federal level under a variety of
environmental statutes, including portions of--
(i) the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33
U.S.C. 1251 et seq.);
(ii) the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300f et
seq.); and
(iii) the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.);
but
(B) Congress has continually elected not to include the
hydraulic fracturing process in the underground injection
control program under the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C.
300f et seq.);
(10) in 2011, the Secretary of the Interior announced the
intention to promulgate new Federal regulations governing
hydraulic fracturing on Federal land;
(11) a February 2012 study by the Energy Institute at the
University of Texas at Austin, entitled ''Fact-Based Regulation
for Environmental Protection in Shale Gas Development'', found
that ''[n]o evidence of chemicals from hydraulic fracturing
fluid has been found in aquifers as a result of fracturing
operations''; and
(12) on October 1, 2014, the Ground Water Protection
Council and State Oil and Gas Regulatory Exchange released a
report entitled ''State Oil and Gas Regulations Designed to
Protect Water Resources'' that describes the cutting edge of
State-based oil and gas regulations, concluding that ''In step
with dramatic industry growth over the past five years, states
have substantially improved groundwater protection laws and
regulations governing oil and natural gas production.''.

SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF FEDERAL LAND.

In this Act, the term ''Federal land'' means--
(1) public lands (as defined in section 103 of the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1702));
(2) National Forest System land;
(3) land under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of
Reclamation; and
(4) land under the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers.

SEC. 4. STATE AUTHORITY.

(a) In General.--A State shall have the sole authority to
promulgate or enforce any regulation, guidance, or permit requirement
regarding the treatment of a well by the application of fluids under
pressure to which propping agents may be added for the expressly
designed purpose of initiating or propagating fractures in a target
geologic formation in order to enhance production of oil, natural gas,
or geothermal production activities on or under any land within the
boundaries of the State.
(b) Federal Land.--The treatment of a well by the application of
fluids under pressure to which propping agents may be added for the
expressly designed purpose of initiating or propagating fractures in a
target geologic formation in order to enhance production of oil,
natural gas, or geothermal production activities on Federal land shall
be subject to the law of the State in which the land is located.

Ex Output:
Fracturing Regulations are Effective in State Hands Act This bill gives states the sole authority to promulgate or enforce any regulation, guidance, or permit requirement regarding hydraulic fracturing on or under any land within their boundaries. Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a process to extract underground resources such as oil or gas from a geologic formation by injecting water, a propping agent (e.g., sand), and chemical additives into a well under enough pressure to fracture the geological formation. Hydraulic fracturing on federal land must comply with the law of the state in which the land is located.

Ex Output:
Nuclear Plant Decommissioning Act of 2016 This bill amends the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 to require a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensee to submit to the NRC a post-shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) regarding the shutdown of a nuclear facility. In the state where the nuclear facility is located, the NRC is required to: (1) solicit public comments on a proposed PSDAR; (2) conduct at least two public hearings; and (3) invite the state to file a statement of support, nonsupport, or conditional support for the proposed PSDAR with specific recommendations that could lead to support. The bill prescribes the criteria for determining whether a proposed PSDAR is permissible if a host state files a statement of conditional support. The NRC must determine the adequacy or inadequacy of a proposed PSDAR and issue a decision document accordingly The NRC must not approve a proposed PSDAR unless the proposed PSDAR requires compliance with applicable state law relating to air, water, soil quality, or radiological standards if the state law is more restrictive than its federal counterpart. The NRC must notify: (1) each licensee of the opportunity to develop a revised PSDAR for any facility for which a PSDAR has been submitted but for which decontamination and dismantling activities have either not been commenced, or have been commenced for less than one year; and (2) each state within 50 miles of such facility that they have the opportunity to consult with the licensee who submitted the PSDAR.
