Sometimes someone donates real property, or an interest in it, to the United States for use on a project — whether that happened in the past or happens later. If the Secretary later decides not to use that donated property, the Secretary can give it back. The Secretary can reconvey all or part of it, at no charge, to the person who donated it, or to that donor's heirs, successors, or assigns.
Where real property or any interest therein heretofore has been, or hereafter shall be, donated and conveyed to the United States for use in connection with a project, and the Secretary decides not to utilize the donation, he is authorized without charge to reconvey such property or any part thereof to the donating grantor, or to the heirs, successors, or assigns of such grantor.
