## Summary

**This bill would transfer about 21,578 acres of federal land inside the Denali National Park and Preserve boundary to Doyon, Limited.** It would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to convey all right, title, and interest in the specifically identified parcel, subject to valid existing rights and reserving public easements required under section 17(b) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). The conveyance would be required as soon as practicable but not later than one year after enactment. - Doyon, Limited would gain title to the described parcel of roughly 21,578 acres and must accept reserved public easements under ANCSA. Doyon may not sell the land to anyone other than the United States, permit mining, or allow development that would derogate the cultural value of the Geese House. - Denali National Park and Preserve would have its boundary adjusted to exclude the conveyed land and, to the extent practicable, align with the proposed park boundary shown on the bill's map. The bill also designates certain areas as excluded from conveyance, including lots 1 and 2 in sections 31 and 32 and the land under Chilchukabena Lake and an unnamed lake. - Administrative and legal effects include treating the conveyance under ANCSA section 14(h)(8) and exempting it from 43 C.F.R. part 2650 and any past or existing withdrawals affecting the land. The Secretary may make minor survey and legal-description corrections with Doyon's written approval.
