To require the Secretary of the Interior to transfer to the Secretary of the Navy administrative jurisdiction of certain land located on Adak Island, Alaska, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to transfer control of about 5,624 acres of land on Adak Island, Alaska, to the Secretary of the Navy as soon as practicable. The Navy could use the land as a testing site for high-hazard explosives, for training in aerial gunnery, rocketry, electronic warfare, and tactical maneuvering, for testing equipment and tactics, or for other defense-related purposes. When the transfer happens, the land would be removed from the National Wildlife Refuge System and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, and the refuge boundaries would be adjusted. The bill states it does not otherwise change refuge laws or the status of other refuge land.
