SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

SEC. 2. CONVEYANCE OF JOHN SEVIER RANGE.

    (a) Authorization.--The Secretary of the Army may convey, without 
consideration, to the State of Tennessee all right, title, and interest 
of the United States in and to a parcel of real property, including any 
improvements thereon and appurtenant easements thereto, consisting of 
approximately 124 acres known as the John Sevier Range in Knox County, 
Tennessee, if the State agrees to use such real property as a public 
firing range and for associated recreational activities.
    (b) Reversionary Interest.--If the Secretary determines at any time 
that the real property authorized to be conveyed under subsection (a) 
is not being used in accordance with the terms of such conveyance under 
such subsection, all right, title, and interest in and to such real 
property, including any improvements and appurtenant easements thereto, 
shall, at the option of the Secretary, revert to and become the 
property of the United States, and the United States shall have the 
right of immediate entry onto such real property. A determination by 
the Secretary under this subsection shall be made on the record after 
an opportunity for a hearing.
    (c) Administrative Expenses.--In accordance with section 2695 of 
title 10, United State Code, the Secretary may accept amounts provided 
by the State to cover administrative expenses incurred by the Secretary 
with respect to the conveyance authorized under subsection (a), 
including survey expenses, expenses related to environmental 
documentation, and other administrative expenses related to such 
conveyance. Such amounts shall be credited, pursuant to subsection (c) 
of section 2695 of such title, to the appropriation, fund, or account 
from which such expenses were paid. If amounts are collected from the 
State in advance of the Secretary incurring such expenses, and the 
amount collected exceeds the expenses actually incurred by the 
Secretary, the Secretary shall refund the excess amount to the State.
    (d) Survey.--The exact acreage and legal description of the real 
property authorized to be conveyed under subsection (a) shall be 
determined by a survey satisfactory to the Secretary and the State.
    (e) Additional Terms and Conditions.--The Secretary may require 
such additional terms and conditions in connection with the conveyance 
authorized under subsection (a) as the Secretary considers appropriate 
to protect the interests of the United States.
