The Commerce Secretary may give a State or U.S. territory all or part of federal legislative jurisdiction over controlled land or interests, using a notice accepted by the jurisdiction or its required process.

Despite any other law, when the Commerce Secretary considers it desirable, the Secretary may give a State, Commonwealth, territory, or possession of the United States all or part of the United States’ legislative jurisdiction over land or interests under the Secretary’s control there. The Secretary may do this (1) by filing a notice of relinquishment with the Governor, or if there is no Governor, the chief executive officer, effective when accepted; or (2) as the jurisdiction’s laws require.
