Sec. 521e. Small parcels and road rights-of-way

    The National Forest System lands which may be sold, exchanged, or 
interchanged under sections 521c to 521i of this title are those the 
sale or exchange of which is not practicable under any other authority 
of the Secretary, which have a value as determined by the Secretary of 
not more than $150,000, and which are--
        (1) parcels of forty acres or less which are interspersed with 
    or adjacent to lands which have been transferred out of Federal 
    ownership under the mining laws and which are determined by the 
    Secretary, because of location or size, not to be subject to 
    efficient administration;
        (2) parcels of ten acres or less which are encroached upon by 
    improvements occupied or used under claim or color of title by 
    persons to whom no advance notice was given that the improvements 
    encroached or would encroach upon such parcels, and who in good 
    faith relied upon an erroneous survey, title search, or other land 
    description indicating that there was not such encroachment; or
        (3) road rights-of-way, reserved or acquired, which are 
    substantially surrounded by lands not owned by the United States and 
    which are no longer needed by the United States, subject to the 
    first right of abutting landowners to acquire such rights-of-way.
