SEC. 2823. RELEASE OF RESTRICTIONS, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
SAN DIEGO.
(a) Release.--The Secretary of the Navy may, upon receipt
of full consideration as provided in subsection (b), release
to the Regents of the University of California (in this
section referred to as the ``University of California'') all
remaining right, title, and interest of the United States,
including restrictions on use imposed by deed or otherwise
and reversionary rights, in and to a parcel of real property
consisting of approximately 495 acres that comprises part of
the San Diego campus of the University of California.
(b) Consideration.--
(1) Consideration required.--As consideration for the
release under subsection (a), the University of California
shall provide an amount that is acceptable to the Secretary
of the Navy, whether by cash payment, in-kind consideration
as described under paragraph (2), or a combination thereof,
at such time as the Secretary may require. The consideration
under this paragraph shall be based on an appraisal approved
by the Secretary of the value to the Department of the Navy
of the restrictions released under subsection (a), except
that in determining the value of such restrictions, there
shall be excluded the value of any existing improvements to
the property made by or on behalf of the University of
California and the value of the University of California's
existing rights to the property.
(2) In-kind consideration.--In-kind consideration provided
by the University of California under paragraph (1) may
include goods or services that benefit the Department of the
Navy and may take into consideration the value which has
accrued to the Department of the Navy from the San Diego
campus of the University of California's research, education,
and clinical care activities, as well as the contracts,
grants, and other collaborations between the Department of
the Navy and the San Diego campus of the University of
California.
(3) Treatment of consideration received.--Consideration in
the form of cash payment received by the Secretary under
paragraph (1) shall be deposited in the separate fund in the
Treasury described in section 572(a)(1) of title 40, United
States Code.
(c) Payment of Costs of Release.--
(1) Payment required.--The Secretary of the Navy shall
require the University of California to cover costs to be
incurred by the Secretary, or to reimburse the Secretary for
such costs incurred by the Secretary, to carry out the
release under subsection (a), including survey costs, costs
for environmental documentation related to the release, and
any other administrative costs related to the release. If
amounts are collected from the University of California in
advance of the Secretary incurring the actual costs, and the
amount collected exceeds the costs actually incurred by the
Secretary to carry out the release, the Secretary shall
refund the excess amount to the University of California.
(2) Treatment of amounts received.--Amounts received as
reimbursement under paragraph (1) shall be credited to the
fund or account that was used to cover the costs incurred by
the Secretary in carrying out the release under subsection
(a) or, if the period of availability of obligations for that
appropriation has expired, to the appropriations of a fund
that is currently available to the Secretary for the same
purpose. Amounts so credited shall be merged with amounts in
such fund or account and shall be available for the same
purposes, and subject to the same conditions and limitations,
as amounts in such fund or account.
(d) Description of Property.--The exact acreage and legal
description of the real property that is the subject of the
release under subsection (a) shall be determined by a survey
or other documentation satisfactory to both the Secretary of
the Navy and the University of California.
(e) Reversionary Interest.--The Secretary may amend the
conveyance instrument to establish a period of applicability
of a reversionary interest consistent with conveyances for
educational purposes with the period commencing with the date
of the original conveyance.
(f) Additional Terms and Conditions.--The Secretary of the
Navy may require such additional terms and conditions in
connection with the release under subsection (a) as the
Secretary considers appropriate to protect the interests of
the United States.
