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.
