To dispose of certain Federal properties located in Dutch John, Utah, to

            the Dutch John community, and for other purposes.

United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Dutch John Federal Property 
Disposition and Assistance Act of 1998''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
        (1)(A) Dutch John, Utah, was founded by the Secretary of the 
    Interior in 1958 on Bureau of Reclamation land as a community to 
    house personnel, administrative offices, and equipment for project 
    construction and operation of the Flaming Gorge Dam and Reservoir 
    as authorized by the Act of April 11, 1956 (70 Stat. 105, chapter 
    203; 43 U.S.C. 620 et seq.); and
        (B) permanent structures (including houses, administrative 
    offices, equipment storage and maintenance buildings, and other 
    public buildings and facilities) were constructed and continue to 
    be owned and maintained by the Secretary of the Interior;
        (2)(A) Bureau of Reclamation land surrounding the Flaming Gorge 
    Reservoir (including the Dutch John community) was included within 
    the boundaries of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in 
    1968 under Public Law 90-540 (16 U.S.C. 460v et seq.);
        (B) Public Law 90-540 assigned responsibility for 
    administration, protection, and development of the Flaming Gorge 
    National Recreation Area to the Secretary of Agriculture and 
    provided that lands and waters needed or used for the Colorado 
    River Storage Project would continue to be administered by the 
    Secretary of the Interior; and
        (C) most structures within the Dutch John community (including 
    the schools and public buildings within the community) occupy lands 
    administered by the Secretary of Agriculture;
        (3)(A) the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the 
    Interior are unnecessarily burdened with the cost of continuing to 
    provide basic services and facilities and building maintenance and 
    with the administrative costs of operating the Dutch John 
    community; and
        (B) certain structures and lands are no longer essential to 
    management of the Colorado River Storage Project or to management 
    of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area;
        (4)(A) residents of the community are interested in purchasing 
    the homes they currently rent from the Secretary of the Interior 
    and the land on which the homes are located;
        (B) Daggett County, Utah, is interested in reducing the 
    financial burden the County experiences in providing local 
    government support services to a community that produces little 
    direct tax revenue because of Federal ownership; and
        (C) a withdrawal of the role of the Federal Government in 
    providing basic direct community services to Dutch John would 
    require local government to provide the services at a substantial 
    cost;
        (5)(A) residents of the Dutch John community are interested in 
    self-government of the community; and
        (B) with growing demands for additional commercial recreation 
    services for visitors to the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area 
    and Ashley National Forest, there are opportunities for private 
    economic development, but few private lands are available for the 
    services; and
        (6) the privatization and disposal to local government of 
    certain lands in and surrounding Dutch John would be in the public 
    interest.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
        (1) to privatize certain lands in and surrounding Dutch John, 
    Utah;
        (2) to transfer jurisdiction of certain Federal property 
    between the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the 
    Interior;
        (3) to improve the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area;
        (4) to dispose of certain residential units, public buildings, 
    and facilities;
        (5) to provide interim financial assistance to local government 
    to defray the cost of providing basic governmental services;
        (6) to achieve efficiencies in operation of the Flaming Gorge 
    Dam and Reservoir and the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area;
        (7) to reduce long-term Federal outlays; and
        (8) to serve the interests of the residents of Dutch John and 
    Daggett County, Utah, and the general public.
