PUBLIC LAW 96-586—DEC. 23, 1980
94 STAT. 3385
(i) a definite term of not more than twenty-five years from the date of the enactment of this Act, or, (ii) a term ending at the death of the owner or owners of such land. The owner shall elect the term to be reserved, except that if the owner is a corporation, the term shall not exceed twenty-five years from the date of the enactment of this Act. Unless the improved land is wholly or partially donated, the Secretary of Agriculture shall pay to the owner the fair market value of the improved land on the date of its acquisition, less the fair market value on that date of the right retained by the owner. For purposes of applying the preceding provisions of this subparagraph, ownership shall be determined as of the date of acquisition, except that in applying clause (ii) ownership shall be determined as of May 1, 1980. (B) A right retained by the owner pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to termination by the Secretary of Agriculture upon his determination that it is being exercised in a manner inconsistent with the purposes of this Act, and it shall terminate by operation of law upon notification by the Secretary of Agriculture to the holder of the right of such determination and tendering to him the amount equal to the fair market value of that portion which remains unexpired. (d) Lands and interests therein may be acquired by the Secretary of Agriculture with concurrence of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in accordance with this section without the consent of the owner thereof only where, in his judgment, all reasonable efforts to acquire such lands or interests therein by negotiation have failed. (e) The fair market value of any land or interest in land to be acquired by the Secretary of Agriculture under this section shall be determined by an independent appraisal made, where practicable, on the basis of comparable sales at the time of such acquisition. For purposes of the appraisal of any property to be acquired under this section, in determining the comparability of other property sales, the independent appraisal shall take into account the utilities, services, and facilities associated with the property concerned. Any change after the date of the enactment of this Act in the value of any property to be acquired under this section shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the fair market value of such property to the extent that such change is attributable to the enactment of this Act. (f) In acquiring any property under this section, the Secretary of Agriculture and the owner of the property to be acquired may agree that the purchase price will be paid in periodic installments over a period that does not exceed ten years, with interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof at a rate which is not in excess of the current average market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States with remaining period of maturity comparable to average maturities on the installments. (g) There is hereby authorized to be appropriated, for the purposes of this Act, from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, $10,000,000 for the fiscal year 1982, and $20,000,000 for the fiscal year 1983. In addition there is hereby authorized to be appropriated for these and subsequent fiscal years an amount equal to the amount of revenue obtained by the Federal Government from the sale of federally owned lands in Clark County, Nevada, after October 1, 1978, reduced for any fiscal year by the amount appropriated, pursuant to this sentence, in the prior fiscal years.
