To provide for the conveyance of the Bureau of Land Management parcels 
  known as the White Acre and Gambel Oak properties and related real 
          property to Park City, Utah, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. LAND CONVEYANCE, WHITE ACRE AND GAMBEL OAK PROPERTIES, 
              BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, PARK CITY, UTAH.

    (a) Conveyance Required.--The Secretary of the Interior shall 
convey to Park City, Utah, all right, title, and interest of the United 
States in and to four parcels of real property located in Park City, 
Utah, that are under the administrative jurisdiction of the Bureau of 
Land Management and are designated by the Bureau as parcels 8, 16, 17, 
and 18, of which parcels 8 and 16 are generally known as the White Acre 
and Gambel Oak properties. Subject to subsection (e), the conveyance 
shall be subject to all valid existing rights, and the Secretary shall 
make the conveyance in a manner consistent with the 1975 Bureau of Land 
Management Framework Plan.
    (b) Consideration.--As consideration for the conveyance under 
subsection (a), Park City, Utah, shall pay to the Secretary an amount 
equal to the fair market value of the real property, based on the 
continued and primary use of the property as open space. The fair 
market value of the property shall be determined by an appraisal agreed 
upon by the Secretary and the City. The consideration received under 
this subsection shall be available to the Secretary, until expended and 
without further appropriation, for use to enhance existing resources 
under the administrative jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, 
as determined by the Utah State Bureau of Land Management Office.
    (c) Use of Property.--Subject to subsection (e), the real property 
conveyed under subsection (a) shall be maintained as open space and be 
used only for public recreation purposes or other purposes consistent 
with its maintenance as open space, as determined by Park City, Utah, 
in consultation with the Secretary. This subsection shall not be 
considered to prohibit construction or maintenance of recreational 
facilities, utilities, or other necessary structures on the conveyed 
property.
    (d) Reversionary Interest.--The Secretary may include in the 
conveyance under subsection (a) a condition under which all right, 
title, and interest in and to the conveyed real property, including any 
improvements thereon, shall revert, at the option of the Secretary, to 
the United States if the Secretary determines that Park City, Utah, is 
not using the property in accordance with subsection (c). Any 
determination of the Secretary under this subsection shall be made on 
the record after an opportunity for a hearing, and the United States 
shall have the right of immediate entry onto the property upon the 
making of such a determination.
    (e) Resolution of Existing Claims.--The conveyance under subsection 
(a) shall be conditional on the Secretary being able to convey the real 
property described in such subsection to Park City, Utah, free and 
clear of any mining claims or other encumbrances of any kind under the 
Act of May 10, 1872 (30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.; commonly known as the Mining 
Act of 1872), along with a full release of the Secretary and the United 
States for any actions in connection with such mining claims or 
encumbrances arising from the conveyance. This condition on the 
authority of the Secretary to convey the real property under subsection 
(a) shall be considered to be satisfied if, in exchange for the release 
of the mining claims or other encumbrances by the holder thereof, Park 
City, Utah, agrees to convey a portion of the property acquired by the 
City to the holder of such mining claims or encumbrances.
                                 <all>
