Sec. 931a. Authority of Attorney General to grant easements and 
        rights-of-way to States, etc.
        
    The Attorney General, whenever he deems it advantageous to the 
Government and upon such terms and conditions as he deems advisable, is 
authorized on behalf of the United States to grant to any State, or any 
agency or political subdivision thereof, easements in and rights-of-way 
over lands belonging to the United States which are under his 
supervision and control. Such grant may include the use of such 
easements or rights-of-way by public utilities to the extent authorized 
and under the conditions imposed by the laws of such State relating to 
use of public highways. Such partial, concurrent, or exclusive 
jurisdiction over the areas covered by such easements or rights-of-way, 
as the Attorney General deems necessary or desirable, is ceded to such 
State. The Attorney General is authorized to accept or secure on behalf 
of the United States from the State in which is situated any land 
conveyed in exchange for any such easement or right-of-way, such 
jurisdiction as he may deem necessary or desirable over the land so 
acquired.
