43 U.S.C. § 122 — Discontinuance of land offices by Secretary of the Interior

submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 101 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a federal land district has fewer than 100,000 acres of unsold public land left, the Secretary of the Interior must shut down that district's land office. Any land still unsold there then gets sold through the nearest remaining land office, after the Secretary gives notice.

This section requires the Secretary of the Interior to close land offices once they run low on unsold land. Whenever the amount of unsold public land remaining in a land district drops below 100,000 acres, the Secretary of the Interior must discontinue that district's land office. If land in that district is still unsold when its office closes, that land becomes available for sale at whichever existing land office is most convenient to the discontinued district. The Secretary of the Interior must give notice of this change. The section has no lettered subsections.

Whenever the quantity of public land remaining unsold in any land district is reduced to a number of acres less than one hundred thousand, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Interior to discontinue the land office of such district; and if any land in any such district remains unsold at the time of the discontinuance of a land office, the same shall be subject to sale at some one of the existing land offices most convenient to the district in which the land office has been discontinued, of which the Secretary of the Interior shall give notice.
