2640.

appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining and 
mineral leasing laws, by Public Land Order 2550, dated December 6, 
1961, for use by the FAA.
    Rights-of-way for existing roads will not be reserved as title will 
merge. However, conveyance of the land will be subject to valid 
existing rights and the following terms and conditions:
    1. A right-of-way for ditches or canals will be reserved to the 
United States;
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States.
    A complete list of the terms and covenants requested by the FAA 
administrator and those required for the protection of the Department 
of the Interior is available for review by interested persons at the
