     3.  - (1) Os oes unrhyw eiddo heblaw tir neu unrhyw hawl neu rwymedigaeth nad yw'n gysylltiedig â thir wedi'u trosglwyddo, cyn y dyddiad gweithredol, i awdurdod addysg lleol ac wedi'i freinio ynddo yn rhinwedd rheoliad 54 o Reoliadau 1999, bydd yr eiddo, yr hawl neu'r rhwymedigaeth a enwyd, ar y dyddiad gweithredol, yn trosglwyddo i gorff llywodraethu yr ysgol berthnasol a gyfansoddwyd o dan yr erthygl llywodraethu ac yn breinio ynddo.

    (2) Yn y rheoliad hwn  - 

ystyr "ysgol berthnasol" ("relevant school")  - 

(a) os trosglwyddwyd yn rhinwedd paragraff (1) o'r rheoliad 54 a enwyd, yw yr ysgol yr oedd yr eiddo yn cael ei ddal neu ei ddefnyddio, yr hawl wedi'i chaffael neu'r rhwymedigaeth wedi'i thynnu at ei dibenion yn union cyn y dyddiad trosglwyddo;

(b) os trosglwyddwyd yn rhinwedd paragraffau (1) a (2) o'r rheoliad 54 a enwyd, yw yr ysgol y dyrannwyd yr eiddo, yr hawl neu'r rhwymedigaeth iddi yn sgil rhaniad neu ddyraniad a gyflawnwyd yn unol â'r paragraff (2) a enwyd; neu

(c) os trosglwyddwyd yn rhinwedd paragraff (4) o'r rheoliad 54 a enwyd, yw yr ysgol yr oedd yn ymddangos ar y dyddiad trosglwyddo cyntaf mai hi fyddai'n debyg o ddefnyddio'r eiddo neu (yn ôl fel y digwydd) y byddai'r hawl neu'r rhwymedigaeth yn effeithio arni fwyaf; ac

mae i "dyddiad trosglwyddo cyntaf" a "dyddiad trosglwyddo" yr ystyr a roddir i "first transfer date" a "transfer date" yn rheoliad 54 o Reoliadau 1999.
