mately 3,800 acres, control access to over 75,000
acres of Federal lands under the jurisdiction of the

efit the people of the United States by preserving
and enhancing important wildlife habitat, ensuring
access to lands of the Bureau of Land Management,
and protecting priceless archeological and cultural
resources.

States, can be managed by the Utah Division of
Wildlife Resources at no additional expense to the
Federal Government.

Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 460l–5) for the purchase of the
Wilcox Ranch under subsection (b).
(d) MANAGEMENT
OF LANDS.—Immediately upon
completion of the purchase of Wilcox Ranch under sub-
section (b), the Secretary of the Interior shall transfer all
right, title, and interest of the United States in the surface
estate to such lands to the State of Utah for management
by the State Division of Wildlife Resources for wildlife
habitat and public access.
(e) REVERSIONARY INTEREST.—If the Secretary of
the Interior determines at any time that the lands trans-
ferred under subsection (d) are not being managed as pro-
vided in such subsection, all right, title, and interest in
and to the lands shall revert to the United States, and
the United States shall have immediate right of entry
thereon.
