Subject to valid existing rights and consistent with this section, the Secretary of the Interior shall acknowledge the State of Utah’s and its counties’ ownership of, and shall forever disclaim all Federal interest in, a right-of-way for public travel and access on all roads claimed as Class B, that are paved as of January 1, 2016, and identified as rights-of-way in judicial actions in the Federal court system as of January 1, 2016, in Uintah, Duchesne, Carbon, Emery, Grand, and San Juan counties, Utah. A right-of-way disclaimed under subsection
(a)shall constitute the United States acceptance of the county’s and State’s RS 2477 ownership and that all Federal ownership authority is extinguished. The State and counties in return shall withdraw lawsuits in the Federal court system affecting those individual disclaimed roads. Each right-of-way disclaimed by the Secretary of the Interior under the provisions covered by subsection
(b)of this title shall consist of the full geographic extent authorized by Utah State law in effect as of January 1, 2016. Each right-of-way disclaimed pursuant to this title may be abandoned pursuant to Utah State law. The right-of-way area of disturbance shall generally remain the same as of January 1, 2016.
