                                DECEMBER 16, 2015.-Ordered to be printed


                     Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
                                 Resources, submitted the following


                                        REPORT

                                        [To accompany H.R. 1324]
                    The Committee on Energy  and Natural Resources, to which was
                  referred the Act (H.R. 1324) to adjust the boundary of the Arapaho
                  National Forest, Colorado, and for other purposes, having consid-
                  ered the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and
                  recommends  that the bill do pass.
                                            PURPOSE
                    The purpose of H.R. 1324 is to adjust the boundary of the Arap-
                  aho National Forest, Colorado.
                                      BACKGROUND  AND NEED
                    Between Rocky  Mountain National Park and the Bowen  Gulch
                  Protection Area on the Arapaho National Forest is a 10-lot subdivi-
                  sion known as the Wedge. The Rocky Mountain Nature Associa-
                  tion and the Trust for Public Land, in partnership with the U.S.
                  Forest Service and the National Park Service, have worked for 20
                  years to acquire these Wedge lots, which are part of the Colorado
                  River headwaters and are highly visible from Trail Ridge Road, the
                  main  road that traverses Rocky Mountain National Park. Cur-
                  rently, the Forest Service owns seven of the Wedge lots but these
                  parcels do not have national forest status as the boundary of Arap-
                  aho National Forest has never been adjusted to include the lots
                  within the Arapaho National Forest.
                    H.R. 1324 would adjust the boundary of the Arapaho National
                  Forest in the State of Colorado to incorporate 92.95 additional
                  acres. Federal land to be included in the new boundary will become
                     59-010
