Sec.  2370.0-3  Authority.



    The Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (63 

Stat. 377), as amended, governs the disposal of surplus Federal lands or 

interests in lands. Section 3 of that Act (40 U.S.C. 472), as amended, 

February 28, 1958 (72 Stat. 29), excepts from its provisions the 

following:

    (a) The public domain.

    (b) Lands reserved or dedicated for national forest or national park 

purposes.

    (c) Minerals in lands or portions of lands withdrawn or reserved 

from the public domain which the Secretary of the Interior determines 

are suitable for disposition under the public land mining and mineral 

leasing laws.

    (d) Lands withdrawn or reserved from the public domain, but not 

including lands or portions of lands so withdrawn or reserved which the 

Secretary of the Interior, with the concurrence of the Administrator of 

the General Services Administration, determines are not suitable for 

return to the public domain for disposition under the general public-

land laws, because such lands are substantially changed in character by 

improvements or otherwise.
