Summary

Defines Secretary as the: (1) Secretary of Agriculture with respect to any disposal of national forest lands under the Act; and (2) Secretary of the Interior with respect to any disposal of public lands under the Act. Includes the Department of Agriculture within the exception of a Federal agency that does not need the consent of a Federal department or agency, or another entity to dispose of lands withdrawn in aid of a function of such entity. Makes such Act inapplicable to lands in: (1) the National Park System; (2) the National Wildlife Refuge System; (3) the National Wilderness Preservation System; (4) the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System; (5) the National Trails System; (6) any Bureau of Land Management area of critical environmental concern; and (7) any national recreation area. Requires the Secretary of the Interior, upon receipt of an application from a duly qualified LEA that is seeking conveyance of land for use for a school, to: (1) notify the applicant of such receipt before the end of the ten-day period beginning on the date of receipt; and (2) before the end of the 60-day period beginning on such date, determine whether or not to convey such land and to notify the applicant of that determination, or report to the Congress and the applicant the reasons that determination has not been made.
