This Act amends the Public Purpose Land Exchange Authorization Act of 1987 with respect of compensation of private landowners in land exchanges called "short exchange". In this kind of exchange of public land for private land the full area of public land agreed upon was not conveyed to the landowner or to his or her heirs or successors in interest. "Public purpose" now also includes this kind of exchange.
