A bill to amend the Act of June 22, 1948.

This bill modifies the formula for annual federal payments to certain counties in the state of Minnesota for the lands known as the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

The bill requires the Department of Agriculture to base the annual payment amounts on the highest fair appraised value, including historical appraised values. Currently, annual payment amounts are based on the most recent appraisal of the lands, which occurs at ten-year intervals.
