What US Mineral Leasing Act (30 USC ch 3A): Leasing of Federal Coal, Oil, Gas and Mineral Lands requires
The Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. ch. 3A) governs the leasing of public domain lands for the development of coal, oil, gas, phosphate, sodium, potassium, sulphur and other leasable minerals, administered by the Bureau of Land Management under the Secretary of the Interior. Section 181 sets out the lands subject to disposition and the persons entitled to take leases, namely citizens, associations and corporations organized under United States law, subject to reciprocal privilege limits on foreign ownership. Section 201 governs coal leases and exploration, and section 211 governs phosphate deposits. Section 226 provides for the lease of oil and gas lands, including competitive and noncompetitive leasing, and section 223 sets the term of a lease, the survey of the land, royalties and annual rental. Section 351 provides the definitions for acquired lands leasing. Lessees must pay royalties on production and comply with diligent development and operating requirements, and the Secretary may cancel a lease for noncompliance. The Act, together with the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act, is the legal foundation for US Federal mineral leasing and royalty administration.
