§577g–1 Payment to State of Minnesota for Extension to Other Sections of Land

Summary

The Secretary of the Treasury must pay the State of Minnesota, after the Secretary of Agriculture certifies the values, a sum each fiscal year equal to three-quarters of 1 percent of the fair appraised value of the national-forest lands inside the area shown in section 577d–1. The money comes from national-forest receipts that are not already set aside for other uses. The payments are split among the three counties in proportion to the appraised value of the forest land in each county. The Secretary of Agriculture must set the fair appraised values every ten years and his decision is final. The first payment was due at the end of fiscal year 1959. Section 500 of this title does not apply to these lands.
