Power Company under Right-of-Way OR-48516.
    Provided, that title shall revert to the United States upon a 
finding, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, that, without the 
approval of the Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, the patentee 
or its successor attempts to transfer title to or control over the 
lands to another, the lands have been devoted to a use other than that 
for which the lands were conveyed, the lands have not been used for the 
purpose for which the lands were conveyed for a 5-year period, or the 
patentee has failed to follow the approved development plan or 
management plan.
    The following public lands south of Vale, Malheur County, Oregon 
have been examined and found suitable for classification and opening 
under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as
