SEC. 2. TRANSFER OF LAND TO PREVIOUS OWNERS.

    Section 1(c)(5) of Public Law 106-504 is amended by striking ``, 
except that such definition shall not include the transfer of land to 
an individual or entity for private use other than on a 
nondiscriminatory basis'' and inserting ``Such definition shall include 
the transfer of land to the person (or the heirs of the person) that 
owned the land when it was transferred to the Federal Government, if 
such prior ownership can be verified in the official records of the
