Editorial Notes
REFERENCES IN TEXT
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Com-
pensation, and Liability Act, referred to in subsec.
(b)(7), probably means the Comprehensive Environ-
mental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of
1980, Pub. L. 96–510, Dec. 11, 1980, 94 Stat. 2767, which is
classified principally to chapter 103 (§ 9601 et seq.) of
Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare. For complete
classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title
note set out under section 9601 of Title 42 and Tables.
PRIOR PROVISIONS
Prior provisions on the subject of reverter were for-

section, for transfer by the original grantee or its suc-
cessor.
AMENDMENTS
1988—Pub. L. 100–648 designated existing provision as
subsec. (a) and added subsecs. (b) and (c).

to any lands patented under sections 869 to 869–4 of this
title twenty-five years after the issuance of pate
