This section lets the Secretary authorize certain transfers or changed uses of land covered by older patents and ends the related restrictions after 25 years.
On application by a patentee who is qualified to receive a conveyance under 43 U.S.C. § 869–1(a) or (c), the Secretary may authorize a title transfer or change in use under 43 U.S.C. § 869–2. If the Secretary authorizes it, all reversion provisions and other limits on transfer or use under §§ 869–869–4 or any other law affecting the land stop applying 25 years after the authorization of the transfer or changed or additional use.
The Secretary may authorize transfers of title or changes in use in accordance with the provisions of section 869–2 of this title with respect to any patent heretofore issued under any Act upon application by a patentee qualified to obtain a conveyance under section 869–1(a) or 869–1(c) of this title. If the Secretary, pursuant to such an application, authorizes such transfer or use, all reverter provisions and other limitations on transfer or use, under sections 869 to 869–4 of this title or any other Act affecting the lands involved, shall cease to be in effect twenty-five years after the Secretary authorizes the transfer or use for a changed or additional purpose under the provisions of this section.
