(2) Each party to whom conveyances are to be made may, in the discretion of the Secretary, deposit cash in an amount not less than the fair market value, to be determined at the time of conveyance, of the lands and improvements conveyed. The cash so received shall be deposited into a special fund in the Treasury which when appropriated is authorized to remain available until expended by the Secretary for the purposes of constructing administrative improvements as described in this Act. If the value of any land and improvements thereon authorized to be conveyed by subsection (a) of this section exceeds the value of administrative improvements determined to be necessary by the Secretary to be constructed with respect to such land under this Act, the party to whom such conveyance is to be made shall make a cash payment to the United States in an amount equal to such difference in value. (c)(1) Of the tract of land described in subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall offer to sell at the fair market value, as determined on the date of enactment of this Act, to the Flagstaff Medical Regional Center, Flagstaff, Arizona, not to exceed 18.25 acres immediately adjacent to said Flagstaff Medical Regional Center and to the city of Flagstaff, Arizona, not to exceed 132.5 acres, under special use permit in effect on the date of enactment of this Act to the city of Flagstaff. Such offers to sell to the Flagstaff Medical Regional Center and to the city of Flagstaff shall remain in effect for periods of not to exceed 3 years and 10 years, respectively. Subject to the limitations contained in this paragraph, the city of Flagstaff and the Flagstaff Medical Regional Center may identify any specific tracts of land they want to purchase. (2) Except for any land to be conveyed to the Flagstaff Medical Regional Center and the city of Flagstaff, the Secretary shall solicit public offers for the remaining lands and improvements authorized under subsection (a) of this section. All offers shall be publicly opened at the time and place stated in the solicitation in accordance with the administrative requirements of the Secretary. The Secretary shall consider price and land values before entering into agreements or land exchanges with any party whose offer conforming to the solicitation notice is determined by the Secretary to be most advantageous to the Government. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Secretary may reject any offer if the Secretary determines that such rejection is in the public interest. SEC. 2. (a) The Secretary of the Interior (hereafter in this section referred to as the Secretary) shall convey by quitclaim deed, without consideration, to the owners that appear on record in the office of the county recorder, Pima County, Arizona, any right, title, or interest, including any mineral rights, which the United States may have in and to the real property described in subsection (b) of this section.
