in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary may accept about 4 acres of land inside Gettysburg National Military Park from the Evergreen Cemetery Association at no cost. In exchange, the Secretary may give the Association about 1.25 acres of park land for a right-of-way, but only if the Secretary finds the trade fair and in the public interest.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior consolidate federal land inside Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania. The Secretary may accept, on behalf of the United States, about 4 acres of non-federal land inside the park's boundaries. The Evergreen Cemetery Association of Gettysburg must give this land to the United States at no cost. Once the United States accepts title to it, that land becomes subject to all the same laws and regulations as the rest of the park. In exchange, the Secretary may convey to the Evergreen Cemetery Association about 1.25 acres of federally owned park land, which serves as a right-of-way through the Association's cemetery property. But this exchange can only go through if the Secretary is satisfied that it serves the public interest and that the two properties being traded are worth about the same.
