This law adds land to a park. Specific sections of land are taken out of the Powell National Forest. They become part of Bryce Canyon National Park, following the same rules as other park additions.

This section transfers specific parcels of federal land from one federal designation to another. It lists several described tracts of land — identified by township, range, and section numbers under the Salt Lake meridian survey system — located in Utah. These tracts are removed from the Powell National Forest. Once removed from the forest, these same tracts become part of the Bryce Canyon National Park. They are subject to the same laws that already govern sections 346, 401, and 402 of this title, meaning the same rules that apply to the rest of the park apply here too.
