                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
   CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
 
                  SUBCHAPTER VII--REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK
 
Sec. 79e. Exchange of property; cash equalization payments; 
        commercial operations, minimum economic dislocation and 
        disruption
        
    In exercising his authority to acquire property by exchange, the 
Secretary may accept title to any non-Federal property within the 
boundaries of the park, and outside of such boundaries within the limits 
prescribed in this subchapter. Notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, the Secretary may acquire such property from the grantor by 
exchange for any federally owned property under the jurisdiction of the 
Bureau of Land Management in California, except property needed for 
public use and management, which he classifies as suitable for exchange 
or other disposal, or any federally owned property he may designate 
within the Northern Redwood Purchase Unit in Del Norte County, 
California, except that section known and designated as the Yurok 
Experimental Forest, consisting of approximately nine hundred and 
thirty-five acres. Such federally owned property shall also be available 
for use by the Secretary in lieu of, or together with, cash in payment 
of just compensation for any real property taken pursuant to section 
79c(b) of this title. The values of the properties so exchanged either 
shall be approximately equal or, if they are not approximately equal, 
the value shall be equalized by the payment of cash to the grantor or to 
the Secretary as the circumstances require. Through the exercise of his 
exchange authority, the Secretary shall, to the extent possible, 
minimize economic dislocation and the disruption of the grantor's 
commercial operations.
