States if the Secretary determines that Park City, Utah, 
is not using the property in accordance with subsection 
(c). Any determination of the Secretary under this sub-
section shall be made on the record after an opportunity 
for a hearing, and the United States shall have the right 
of immediate entry onto the property upon the making of 
such a determination.

any mining claims or other encumbrances of any kind 
under the Act of May 10, 1872 (30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.;

a full release of the Secretary and the United States for 
any actions in connection with such mining claims or en-
cumbrances arising from the conveyance. This condition

erty under subsection (a) shall be considered to be satis-
fied if, in exchange for the release of the mining claims 
or other encumbrances by the holder thereof, Park City,

by the City to the holder of such mining claims or encum-
brances.
