Requires the Secretary, after a request from the city, to convey to the city any remaining part of the Alta-Hualapai Site necessary for ancillary medical or nonprofit use compatible with the Institute's mission.

Provides that the conveyance by the Secretary under this Act shall be at no cost, except that the Secretary may require the recipient to bear any costs associated with the transfer of title or any necessary land surveys.
