             CHAPTER 35--FEDERAL LAND POLICY AND MANAGEMENT
 
                       SUBCHAPTER V--RIGHTS-OF-WAY
 
Sec. 1768. Conveyance of lands covered by right-of-way; terms 
        and conditions
        
    If under applicable law the Secretary concerned decides to transfer 
out of Federal ownership any lands covered in whole or in part by a 
right-of-way, including a right-of-way granted under the Act of November 
16, 1973 (87 Stat. 576; 30 U.S.C. 185), the lands may be conveyed 
subject to the right-of-way; however, if the Secretary concerned 
determines that retention of Federal control over the right-of-way is 
necessary to assure that the purposes of this subchapter will be carried 
out, the terms and conditions of the right-of-way complied with, or the 
lands protected, he shall (a) reserve to the United States that portion 
of the lands which lies within the boundaries of the right-of-way, or 
(b) convey the lands, including that portion within the boundaries of 
the right-of-way, subject to the right-of-way and reserving to the 
United States the right to enforce all or any of the terms and 
conditions of the right-of-way, including the right to renew it or 
extend it upon its termination and to collect rents.
