If a land conveyance to the United States connected with an application is followed by withdrawal or rejection of the application, the Secretary of the Interior must return the land by quitclaim deed when the deed was recorded.
When land was or will be conveyed to the United States for an application to amend a patented entry, exchange land, or another purpose, and the related application is withdrawn or rejected, the Secretary of the Interior or a designee must execute a quitclaim deed to the entitled party or parties if the conveyance deed was recorded.
Where a conveyance of land has been made or may hereafter be made to the United States in connection with an application for amendment of a patented entry or entries, or an exchange of lands, or for any other purpose, and the application in connection with which the conveyance was made is thereafter withdrawn or rejected, the Secretary of the Interior or such officer as he may designate is authorized and directed, if the deed of conveyance has been recorded, to execute a quitclaim deed of the conveyed land to the party or parties entitled thereto.
