Any land acquired by the United States under this section shall be added to and managed as part of the Wasatch National Forest. (2)(A) The land referred to in paragraph (1) to be transferred by the city is that land depicted as parcels Ai, Aii, and Aiii on the map entitled “Farmington Exchange” and dated May 1988, on file and available for public inspection in the Office of the Chief of the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture. (B) The land referred to in paragraph (1) to be transferred by the United States is that land depicted as parcel Bi on the map referred to in subparagraph (A). (3) Before transferring land to the city pursuant to this subsection, the Secretary shall appraise the values of the lands described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (2). If, based on such appraisal, the fair market value of the lands being transferred to the city is not equal to the fair market value of the lands to be transferred to the United States, the 102 STAT. 4626 Secretary shall require the city to pay, or shall pay to the city, an amount sufficient to equalize such values. (b) City or State Lands Which May Be Exchanged.— (1)(A) Within the 3-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in conjunction with the city and the State of Utah (hereafter in this section referred to as the “State”), shall identify city or State lands which are suitable for transfer to the United States for national forest purposes in exchange for the Federal lands depicted as parcels Bii, Biii, Biv, Bv, and Bvi on the map referred to in subsection (a)(2)(A). (B) Subject to valid existing rights, if within such period the city or the State (as the case may be) transfers to the United States the city or State lands identified pursuant to subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall transfer the appropriate Federal lands depicted as parcels Bii, Biii, Biv, Bv, and Bvi on the map referred to in subsection (a)(2)(A) to the city or the State, as appropriate. The values of lands exchanged under this section shall be of equal value as determined by the Secretary, or, if they are not of equal value, the values shall be equalized by payment to or by the Secretary so long as the payment does not exceed 25 percent of the total value of the lands transferred out of Federal ownership. (2) In lieu of an exchange under paragraph (1), the Secretary may transfer by sale for fair market value the Federal lands depicted as parcels Bii, Biii, Biv, Bv, and Bvi on the map referred to in subsection (a)(2)(A) to the city or the State of Utah, as appropriate.
