U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 761. Repayment of excess of deposits to cover cost of surveys of mineral lands
The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay,
out of the moneys heretofore or hereafter covered into the Treasury
from deposits made by individuals to cover cost of work performed
and to be performed in the offices of such agency as the Secretary
of the Interior may designate in connection with the survey of
mineral lands, any excess in the amount deposited over and above
the actual cost of the work performed, including all expenses
incident thereto for which the deposits were severally made or the
whole of any unused deposit; and such sums, as the several cases
may be, shall be deemed to be annually and permanently appropriated
for that purpose. Such repayments shall be made to the person or
persons who made the several deposits, or to his or their legal
representatives, after the completion or abandonment of the work
for which the deposits were made, and upon an account certified by
the office of such agency of the district in which the mineral land
surveyed, or sought to be surveyed, is situated and approved by the
Secretary of the Interior or such officer as he may designate.
