16 U.S.C. § 539l–1 — Inholdings

(a) State Land Board lands If the Colorado State Land Board tells the Secretary it's willing to transfer some or all of its land inside the Protection Area to the United States, the Secretary must promptly try to reach agreement on terms for the United States to acquire that land, by purchase or exchange. (b) Jim Creek inholding 1. Acquisition of lands. The Secretary must negotiate with the owner of land in the Jim Creek drainage portion of the Protection Area, to try to acquire it by purchase or exchange — but the United States cannot acquire it without the owner's consent. 2. Landowner rights. Nothing in this Act affects the rights of that landowner, including any right to reasonable access to the land by motorized or other means, as worked out between the Forest Service and the landowner consistent with applicable law and rules. (c) Report 1. In general. The Secretary must report to the House Committee on Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources about any agreement, or the status of negotiations, under (A) subsection (a) — once an agreement is reached, or one year after August 21, 2002, whichever comes first — and (B) subsection (b) — on the same timing. 2. Funding information. The report must say how much funding is available to the Secretary as of the report date to acquire the relevant land, and whether more funding needs to be appropriated. (d) Management of acquisitions Any land inside the James Peak Wilderness or the Protection Area that the United States acquires after August 21, 2002, is added to whichever of the two it falls within, and managed accordingly.
