Section 565b. Transfer of fire lookout towers and other improvements for fire control to States, political subdivisions or agencies; reversion
The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized, subject to such
conditions as he may prescribe, to transfer, without reimbursement
or at such prices and upon such terms as he may impose, to States
and political subdivisions or agencies thereof fire lookout towers
and other structures or improvements used by the Forest Service for
fire prevention or suppression purposes, and the land used in
connection therewith if such land is outside national forest
boundaries, when they are no longer needed by the Forest Service
for such purposes but are of value to the State or political
subdivision or agency thereof in its fire protection system:
Provided, That if any property so transferred is not put to use for
the purpose for which it was transferred within two years from the
date of transfer, or if, within fifteen years from the date of
transfer, any such property should cease to be used for the purpose
for which it was transferred for a period of two years, title
thereto shall revert to and immediately revest in the United
