(a) If the Secretary of the Interior determines that conveyance
of an interest under section 701 of this title is otherwise
justified but the consent required by section 703 of this title is
not given, he may, in accordance with such procedural rules and
regulations as he may prescribe, grant the applicant a right to
purchase, for residential use, an interest in another tract of
land, five acres or less in area, from tracts made available by him
for sale under this chapter (1) from the unappropriated and
unreserved lands of the United States, or (2) from lands subject to
classification under section 315f of title 43. Said right shall not
be granted until arrangements satisfactory to the Secretary have
been made for termination of the applicant's occupancy of his
unpatented mining claim and for settlement of any liability for the
unauthorized use thereof which may have been incurred and shall
expire five years from the date on which it was granted unless
sooner exercised. The amount to be paid for the interest shall be
determined in accordance with section 705 of this title.
(b) Any conveyance of less than a fee made under this chapter
shall include provision for removal from the tract of any
improvements or other property of the applicant at the close of the
period for which the conveyance is made, or if it be an interest
terminating on the death of the applicant, within one year
thereafter.
