What US Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands of 1947 (30 U.S.C. Chapter 7): Leasing of Mineral Deposits in Acquired Federal Lands requires
The Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands of 1947, codified at 30 U.S.C. Chapter 7 (sections 351 through 360), extends the federal mineral leasing system to lands acquired by the United States, authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to lease deposits of coal, phosphate, oil, gas, sulfur, sodium, potassium, and other leasable minerals within acquired lands under conditions consistent with the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Section 351 provides the definitions, including acquired lands and the leasable mineral deposits. Section 352 makes the deposits subject to lease with the consent of the head of the department having jurisdiction over the lands, and excludes deposits in incorporated municipalities, national parks and monuments, and certain tidelands. Section 353 preserves the sale of lands, the reservation of mineral rights, and prior leases, and provides that naval petroleum reserves are unaffected. Section 354 authorizes the lease of partial or future interests in deposits. Section 355 governs the disposition of receipts. Section 356 requires the furnishing of land descriptions and title documents and their recordation. Section 357 preserves State or local government rights and taxation, and section 359 authorizes the rules and regulations. The Act is the foundational statute for mineral leasing on acquired federal lands.
