What the document says
“Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, if Cape Fox submits to the Secretary a written notice of selection of the Federal land, the Secretary shall, on receiving that written notice, convey the Federal land to Cape Fox.”
Subsection (a). Cape Fox has 90 days from enactment to give the Secretary of the Interior written notice that it selects the Federal land, and on receiving that notice the Secretary is required to convey the land to Cape Fox. Federal land is the surface land defined in section 2.
What the document actually says
“Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, if Cape Fox submits to the Secretary a written notice of selection of the Federal land, the Secretary shall, on receiving that written notice, convey the Federal land to Cape Fox.”
That sentence, in plain words
Cape Fox has 90 days to send a note. The note picks the land. Then the Secretary must hand the land over.
What this is about
The land is the 180 acres named earlier. Cape Fox picks it by sending the note.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
