Conveyance of National Forest land to Apache and Navajo Counties for cemetery use.
This Act requires the Secretary of Agriculture to convey specific parcels of land within the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest to Navajo and Apache Counties in Arizona. The land, totaling approximately 15.62 acres, will be transferred free of charge, but conditioned on its use as a cemetery. The counties must bear all associated conveyance costs, including surveys and environmental analyses.
