What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: it makes the conveyances under the Act subject to third party rights existing on the date of enactment, unless three named parties agree otherwise.

Nothing in the section is left out. It runs to a single sentence.

The section does not list the rights, reservations, rights-of-way or other encumbrances it preserves, and no document naming them is indexed here, so nothing recorded says what encumbers the Federal land.
