What does this do?
This bill moves management of several federal land parcels in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, between two federal agencies. About 25 acres would shift from the National Park Service to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for use at its Advanced Training Center. About 71.5 acres would move the other way, becoming part of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
Who does it affect?
The two agencies involved are the National Park Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. No private landowners are involved in any of these transfers.
Why does it matter?
Each agency would end up managing land that fits its current operations. If Customs and Border Protection ever stops using its 25 acres for training, that land automatically returns to the National Park Service.
