The Secretary of Agriculture may choose a national-forest area inside any county that contains the lands listed in section 2631. The chosen area must have a value substantially equal to the value of those county lands, and the choice must be published in the Federal Register. All money from the designated area will be handled under title II of the Act of August 28, 1937 (50 Stat. 874), and that law will apply to the new area instead of the lands in section 2631. The designation does not take effect until the county court in that county approves it.
