Whereas the United States has certain requirements concerning the use and possession of land in the Ryukyu Islands and whereas there are no provisions of Ryukyuan law whereby such requirements may be satisfied, it is deemed appropriate and necessary to establish procedures for the acquisition of and just compensation for such interests in land as the United States must have for the carrying out of its responsibility in the Ryukyu Islands. It is therefore ordained as follows.
米国は、琉球列島の土地の使用及び占有に関し、ある程度の必要を有するので、且つ、この必要に応ずべき琉球法規がないので、米国が琉球列島においてその責任を遂行するために必要な土地の権利の取得及びそれに対する正当補償に関する手続を定めることは適切、且つ、必要であると思考されるので、次のとおり布令する。
1. Acquisition of estates or interests in land required for temporary or indefinite use shall be accomplished by the District Engineer, Okinawa Engineer District, on behalf of the using agency of the United States Forces with the specific approval of the Deputy Governor.
第１条 暫定的に又は無期限に使用すべき土地の権利の取得に関しては、米国軍隊使用機関に代り、沖縄工兵管区地区工兵隊が民政副長官の特定の認可を得て、その処理にあたる。
2. When it has been determined that an estate or other interest in any specific parcel or parcels of land or other real property shall be acquired, and that such acquisition cannot be agreeably accomplished by negotiations with owners concerned, the Deputy Governor, in the name of the United States, shall cause the following to be accomplished.
第２条 特定の土地、その他不動産の権利が取得さるべきこと及びその取得に関し、所有者との協議で意見一致をみることができないことが確定したときは、民政副長官は米国の名において次のとおり処理せしめる。

In the event of refusal, the owner(s) may within the said thirty (30) days appeal in writing to the Deputy Governor. Failing such appeal within said time the estate or interest shall be deemed transferred to the United States for the amount stated; in the event of appeal only the issue of just compensation will be determined and such appeal shall not stay the right of the United States to file a Declaration of Taking.
1 当該土地又は不動産の所有者に対し、収用の告知をなすものとし、これには当該財産の識別、取得さるべき権利及びそのための権限を明示する。告知にほ、なお、該財産の評定価格及び正当補償の認定金額並びに所有者ほ告知の日から三十日以内に米国の申し出を受諾するか又ほ拒否しなければならない旨を記載する。拒否する場合ほ、所有者は前記三十日以内に文書をもって、その旨民政副長官に訴願することができる。前記の訴願がなかったときは、当該権利は所定の額で米国に譲渡されたものとみなす。訴願に際しては、正当補償に関する争点のみを決定するものとし、且つ、この訴顧により米国ほ収用宣告の権利を阻止されないものとする。
b. In the event transfer of the required estate or interest is accomplished by negotiation, the instrument of transfer shall be filed for registry in the District Land Registry Office having registry jurisdiction over the land or real property involved.
