Sec. 2650.4-6  National wildlife refuge system lands.

    (a) Every conveyance which includes lands within the national 
wildlife refuge system shall, as to such lands, provide that the United 
States has the right of first refusal so long as such lands remain 
within the system. The right of first refusal shall be for a period of 
120 days from the date of notice to the United States that the owner of 
the land has received a bona fide offer of purchase. The United States 
shall exercise such right of first refusal by written notice to the 
village corporation within such 120-day period. The United States shall 
not be deemed to have exercised its right of first refusal if the 
village corporation does not consummate the sale in accordance with the 
notice to the United States.
    (b) Every conveyance which covers lands lying within the boundaries 
of a national wildlife refuge in existence on December 18, 1971, shall 
provide that the lands shall remain subject to the laws and regulations 
governing use and development of such refuge so long as such lands 
remain in the refuge. Regulations governing use and development of 
refuge lands conveyed pursuant to section 14 shall permit such uses that 
will not materially impair the values for which the refuge was 
established.
