Summary

(Sec. 1) This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to convey to the Tanana Tribal Council in Tanana, Alaska, all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to certain property (including all land, improvements, and appurtenances) containing 11.25 acres, in the village of Tanana for use in connection with health and social services programs.

HHS shall be accorded any easement or access to the conveyed property as may be necessary to satisfy any retained obligations and liability.
