To transfer administrative jurisdiction over certain parcels of federal land in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill transfers approximately 25 acres of federal land in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia from the National Park Service to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for use as part of CBP's Advanced Training Center, with the land removed from Harpers Ferry National Historical Park's boundaries. In exchange, approximately 71.51 acres of federal land are transferred from CBP to the National Park Service to be included in Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Both land transfers occur without any monetary payment between the agencies. If CBP determines the 25-acre parcel is no longer needed for the training center, administrative control reverts to the National Park Service and the land is re-added to the park. The normal acreage limitations that apply to the park do not apply to these transferred parcels.
