§ 55. Acquisition of lands by United States—Grant of jurisdiction; acceptance

Once the United States has acquired and taken possession of the said lands, and upon the request of an authorized United States Government official, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico may, if he deems it suitable to the best interests of the Commonwealth, grant the United States jurisdiction over the lands acquired, subject to the conditions herein stipulated and whatever other conditions he deems advisable. Such lands shall, however, continue to be under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico until the said official has, in representation of the United States, accepted the grant of jurisdiction and filed notice to that effect in the Office of the Governor.
