(b) (1) As of the effective date of this Act, there is hereby vested in the United States all right, title, and interest in, and the right to immediate possession of, all real property within the boundaries of the recreation area, except

real property owned by the State of California or a political subdivision thereof and except as provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection. The Secretary shall allow for the orderly termination of all operations on real property acquired by the United States under this subsection, and for the removal of equipment, facilities, and personal property therefrom.

(2) The United States will pay just compensation to the owner of any real property taken by paragraph (1) of this subsection. Such compensation shall be paid either:

(A) by the Secretary of the Treasury from money appropriated from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, including money appropriated to the fund pursuant to section 4 of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 460-7), upon certification to him by the Secretary of the agreed negotiated value of such property, or the valuation of the property awarded by judgment, including interest at the rate of 6 per centum per annum from the date of taking the property to the date of payment therefor; or

(B) by the Secretary, if the owner of the land concurs, with any federally owned property available to him for purposes of exchange pursuant to the provisions of subsection (c) of this section; or

(C) by the Secretary using any combination of such money or federally owned property.

Any action against the United States for the recovery of just compensation for the land and interests therein taken by the United States by this subsection shall be brought in the Court of Claims as provided in section 1491 of title 28, United States Code.

(3) This subsection shall apply to ownerships of one acre or less only if such ownerships are held or occupied primarily for nonresidential or nonagricultural purposes, and if the Secretary gives notice to the owner within twelve months after the effective date of this Act, of the application of this paragraph. Notice by the Secretary shall be deemed to have been made as of the effective date of this Act. The district court of the United States for that district in which such ownerships are located shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any action brought by any person having an interest therein for damages occurring by reason of the temporary application of this paragraph, between the effective date of this Act, and the date upon which the Secretary gives such notice. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as affecting the authority of the Secretary to acquire such areas for the purposes of this Act. (c) If any individual tract or parcel of land acquired is partly inside and partly outside the boundaries of the recreation area the Secretary may, in order to minimize the payment of severance damages, acquire the whole of the tract or parcel and exchange that part of it which is outside the boundaries for land or interests in land inside the boundaries or for other land or interests in land acquired pursuant to this Act, and dispose of so much thereof as is not so utilized in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended. The cost of any land so acquired and disposed of shall not be charged against any limitation on authorized appropriations contained in this Act.

(d) The owner of improved property on the date of its acquisition by the Secretary under this Act may, as a condition of such acquisition, retain for himself and his heirs and assigns a right of use and occupancy of the improved property for noncommercial residential purposes for a definite term of not more than twenty-five years or, in lieu thereof, for a term ending at the death of the owner or the death of his spouse, whichever is later. The owner shall elect the term to be reserved. Unless the property is wholly or partially donated to the United States, the Secretary shall pay the owner the fair market value of the property on the date of acquisition minus the fair market value on that date of the right retained by the owner. A right retained pursuant to this section shall be subject to termination by the Secretary upon his determination that it is being exercised in a manner inconsistent with the purpose of this Act, and it shall terminate by operation of law upon the Secretary's notifying the holder of the right of such determination and tendering to him an amount equal to the fair market value of that portion of the right which remains unexpired.

(e) The term "improved property", as used in subsections (d) and (e), means a detached, noncommercial residential dwelling, the construction of which was begun before June 1, 1971, together with so much of the land on

which the dwelling is situated, the said land being in the same ownership as the dwelling, as the Secretary shall designate to be reasonably necessary for the enjoyment of the dwelling for the sole purpose of noncommercial residential use, together with any structures accessory to the dwelling which are situated on the land so designated.

(f) The Secretary shall have, with respect to any real property acquired by him in that parcel described in section 2(a) (2) of this Act, authority to sell or lease the same to the former owner under such conditions and restrictions as will assure that it is not utilized in a manner or for purposes inconsistent with this Act or the Master Land and Water Use Management Plan described in section 9(b) (1) of this Act. Exercise of said authority by the Secretary, however, will not prevent him from acquiring such property at any future date should he deem the same necessary and appropriate to carrying out the purposes and provisions of this Act.

(g) In exercising his authority to acquire property by exchange, the Secretary may accept title to any non-Federal property within the boundaries of the recreation area, outside of such boundaries within the limits prescribed in this Act. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the Secretary may acquire such property from the grantor by exchange for any federally owned property under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management in California, except property needed for public use and management, which he classifies as suitable for exchange or other disposal, or any federally owned property he may designate. Such federally owned property shall also be available for use by the Secretary in lieu of, or together with, cash in payment or just compensation for any real property taken pursuant to this Act. The values of the properties so exchanged either shall be approximately equal or, if they are not approximately equal, the value shall be equalized by the payment of cash to the grantor or to the Secretary as the circumstances require. Through the exercise of this exchange authority, the Secretary shall, to the extent possible, minimize economic dislocation and the disruption of the grantor's commercial operations.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary shall have the same authority with respect to contracts for the acquisition of land and interests in land for the purposes of this Act as was given the Secretary of the Treasury for other land acquisitions by section 34 of the Act of May 30, 1908, relating to purchase of sites for public buildings (35 Stat. 545), and the Secretary and the owner of land to be acquired under this Act 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 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 periods to maturity comparable to the average maturities on the installments. Judgments against the United States for amounts in excess of the deposit in court made in condemnation actions shall be subject to the provisions of the Act of July 27, 1956 (70 Stat. 624) and sections 2414 and 2517 of title 28, United States Code.

(i) All Federal lands and interests in lands in Marin or San Francisco Counties which are within the Presidio of San Francisco or border on the San Francisco Bay or the Pacific Ocean and that heretofore or hereafter are declared excess to the needs of the United States shall be transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary without a transfer of funds. If the Secretary expressly declares that such property is not needed for the recreation area, such property shall be disposed of in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of law.

ADMINISTRATION

SEC. 9. (a) The Secretary shall administer the recreation area in accordance with the Act of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535), and the Act of August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 666), and the Act of September 13, 1962 (76 Stat. 538).

The Secretary shall conduct such hearings in both San Francisco and Marin Counties.

(5) The Secretary shall commence implementation of the master plan immediately upon the publication of the same.

(6) The Secretary shall follow the same procedure outlined above as to any proposed amendments to said master plan subsequent to the preparation and publication of the same, noticing and holding public hearings thereon.
