Rocky Mountain National Park Ownership Correction Act

This bill, signed into law in the 116th Congress, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to exchange approximately 0.18 acres of federal land within Rocky Mountain National Park for an equal-sized parcel of non-federal land owned by the Forsyth family, correcting a longstanding boundary error. The legislation explicitly values both parcels equally and directs the acquired non-federal land to be administered as part of the park. There is no appropriation of funds, no competitive bidding, no regulatory change, and no economic stimulus. The affected land is minuscule (0.18 acres) and the transaction is a direct swap with no cash consideration. No public companies are involved in this land exchange. The bill's legislative history shows unanimous, bipartisan support—passed by voice vote in both chambers—and it was signed by the President. There is no convergence with any other federal procurement, regulatory action, or market signal. This is a purely administrative correction with zero market implications.
