Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill transfers administrative control of approximately 5,624 acres of land on Adak Island, Alaska from the Interior Department to the Navy Department. The Navy would be able to use this land for military purposes including testing explosives and weapons, training in aerial gunnery and electronic warfare, and equipment development. The bill removes the transferred land from the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and exempts it from all wildlife refuge protection laws. The transfer would take effect as soon as practicable after the bill is enacted, with no specific timeline or funding amount specified in the legislation.
