     conditions specified in this section, the Secretary of 
     Agriculture may sell to the city of Rolla, Missouri (in this 
     section referred to as the ``City''), all right, title, and

     property identified as the Rolla Ranger District 
     Administrative Site of the Forest Service located in Rolla, 
     Phelps County, Missouri, encompassing ten acres more or less, 
     the conveyance of which by C.D. and Oma A. Hazlewood to the 
     United States was recorded on May 6, 1936, in book 104, page 
     286 of the Record of Deeds of Phelps County, Missouri.
       (b) Consideration.--As consideration for the conveyance 
     under subsection (a), the City shall pay to the Secretary an 
     amount equal to the fair market value of the property as 
     determined by an appraisal acceptable to the Secretary and 
     prepared in accordance with the Uniform Appraisal Standards 
     for Federal Land Acquisition as published by the Department 
     of Justice. Payment shall be due in full within six months 
     after the date the conveyance is made or, at the option of 
     the City, in twenty equal annual installments commencing on 
     January 1 of the first year following the conveyance and 
     annually thereafter until the total amount due has been paid.
       (c) Deposit of Funds Received.--Funds received by the 
     Secretary under subsection (b) as consideration for the 
     conveyance shall be deposited into the special fund in the 
     Treasury authorized by the Act of December 4, 1967 (16 U.S.C. 
     484a, commonly known as the Sisk Act). Such funds shall be 
     available, subject to appropriation, until expended by the 
     Secretary.
       (d) Release.--Subject to compliance with all Federal 
     environmental laws prior to transfer, the City, upon 
     conveyance of the property under subsection (a), shall agree 
     in writing to hold the United States harmless from any and

     resulting from hazardous materials on the conveyed lands.
       (e) Reversion.--The conveyance under subsection (a) shall 
     be made by quitclaim deed in fee simple subject to reversion 
     to the United States and right of reentry upon such 
     conditions as may be prescribed by the Secretary in the deed 
     of conveyance or in the event the City fails to comply with 
     the compensation requirements specified in subsection (b).
       (f) Conversion of Historic Resources.--In consultation with 
     the State Historic Preservation Office of the State of 
     Missouri, the Secretary shall ensure that the historic

     requiring, at the closing on the conveyance of the property, 
     that the City convey an historic preservation easement to the 
     State of Missouri assuring the right of the State to enter 
     the property for historic preservation purposes. The historic 
     preservation easement shall be negotiated between the State 
     of Missouri and the City, and the conveyance of the easement 
     shall be a condition to the conveyance authorized under

     State of Missouri and the City, and not that of the 
     Secretary.
