Sec. 403g-1. Exchange of lands

    The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to accept from grantors 
title to non-Federal land and interests in land, together with 
improvements thereon, situated within or adjacent to the Great Smoky 
Mountains National Park, and in exchange therefor, to convey by deed on 
behalf of the United States to the aforesaid grantors, land or interests 
therein, together with improvements thereon, situated within the Great 
Smoky Mountains National Park: Provided, That such exchanges may be made 
without additional compensation by either party to the exchange when the 
properties to be exchanged are of approximately equal value; however, 
when the properties are not of approximately equal value, as may be 
determined by the Secretary, an additional payment of funds shall be 
required by the Secretary or by the grantor of non-Federal properties, 
as the case may be, in order to make an equal exchange, and the 
Secretary is authorized to use any land acquisition funds relating to 
the National Park System for such purposes: Provided further, That not 
more than two hundred acres of park land shall be conveyed pursuant to 
the aforesaid exchange authority. All properties acquired by the United 
States pursuant to this section shall become a part of the Great Smoky 
Mountain National Park upon acquisition thereof. Properties conveyed by 
the United States pursuant to this section shall thereafter be excluded 
from the park and any Federal regulation or control thereof for park 
purposes.
