restriction against alienation imposed by the United States; or
(c) Owned by the United States or by the State of

termination of the activity, that transfer of title is not necessary to protect
the public health, safety or welfare of the persons of the State or to minimize
any danger to life or property.

Nevada, the State Land Registrar shall assign the land for administration to
the State Board of Health, which shall maintain the by-product material and
land in such a manner as will protect the public health and safety, and the
environment.

periodically examine, treat and rehabilitate the land containing by-product
material which has been placed in its custody.

any licensee of liability for any fraudulent or negligent acts done before the

the legal fees of the transferee, the by-product material and land transferred
to the United States or to the State of Nevada must be transferred without cost
