The conveyance is subject to existing rights and to the Secretary's terms

What the document says
“The conveyance under subsection (a) shall be subject to-- (A) valid existing rights; and (B) such terms and conditions as the Secretary determines to be necessary.”
Two limits on what the County receives. Rights that others already hold in the land survive the conveyance, and the Secretary may attach whatever terms and conditions the Secretary determines to be necessary. The subsection does not list those terms or say what rights exist.
What the document actually says
“The conveyance under subsection (a) shall be subject to-- (A) valid existing rights; and (B) such terms and conditions as the Secretary determines to be necessary.”
That sentence, in plain words
Rights that other people already hold still stand. The Secretary can add terms to the deal.
What this is about
The law does not list those rights or terms. It leaves the terms to the Secretary.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
