H.R. 6062: To transfer administrative jurisdiction over certain parcels of federal land in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to transfer administrative control over two specific areas of federal land in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, create adjustments to the boundaries of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, and detail the governance of these lands. The main components of the bill are outlined as follows:
Transfer of Federal Land
The bill includes two primary land transfers:
- Transfer from Department of the Interior (DOI) to Customs and Border Protection (CBP):
- Approximately 25 acres of federal land will be transferred to the CBP for use in their Advanced Training Center.
- This land will be excluded from the boundaries of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
- The CBP is required to conduct a survey to finalize the land description and provide the results to the Secretary of the Interior.
- Transfer from CBP to Department of the Interior (DOI):
- Approximately 71.51 acres of federal land will be transferred back to the DOI and included within the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park boundaries.
- The Secretary of the Interior is tasked with maintaining this land as part of the Park.
No Financial Reimbursement
No monetary payment or other considerations will be exchanged for the land transfers, meaning the transaction occurs without any costs involved between the federal agencies.
Reversion of Land
If at any time the CBP determines that they no longer need the land that was transferred from DOI, that land will revert back to the Secretary of the Interior. Upon reversion, the land will again be part of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
Boundary Limitations
The normal acreage limitations that apply to federal land transfers will not apply to the parcels involved in this bill, including any land that may revert back to the DOI.
Definitions
The bill establishes clear definitions for key terms such as:
- Map: A specific map published by the National Park Service detailing the areas involved in the land transfers.
- Commissioner: Refers to the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
- Park: Denotes Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
- Secretary: Refers to the Secretary of the Interior.
