To require the Secretary of the Interior to transfer to the Secretary of the Navy administrative jurisdiction of certain land located on Adak Island, Alaska, and for other purposes.
This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to transfer administrative control of approximately 5,624 acres on Adak Island, Alaska, to the Secretary of the Navy. Once transferred, the land will be removed from the National Wildlife Refuge System and made available for military activities such as high-hazard explosive testing, aerial gunnery training, and electronic warfare development. The legislation also requires an adjustment to the boundaries of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge to exclude the transferred area from its jurisdiction.
