Summary

National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act Amendments of 1983 - Amends the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act to include all areas managed (as well as administered) by the Secretary of the Interior within the "National Wildlife Refuge System." Authorizes the Secretary to sell, exchange, or interchange lands in the System only if: (1) the lands to be conveyed are not components of the National Wilderness Preservation System, the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, or the National Trails System and are not under study for possible inclusion in any such System; (2) the Secretary determines, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, that the lands to be conveyed are no longer needed for the purposes for which the System was established; and (3) the Secretary has provided thirty days notice of the proposed sale, exchange, or interchange to the congressional delegation of the State or States in which the lands to be conveyed are located and to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and to the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Permits, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a sale, exchange, or interchange authorized by an Act of Congress enacted after May 6, 1983. Provides that the only lands and interests in lands in the System that may be exchanged under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 are those lands and interests in lands described in this Act.
