Federal agencies would study the dollar value of minerals on public lands and waters.

This bill would require federal agencies to determine the dollar value of minerals on specific federal lands and offshore areas. The Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management would need to complete these studies within three years. This would provide a clearer picture of the mineral resources in these areas.

What Would Change

If this bill becomes law, it would establish a new federal requirement for the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to complete detailed studies on the dollar value of minerals in specific onshore and offshore federal areas within three years.

Key Provisions

Requires the U.S. Forest Service to study the dollar value of liquid, gaseous, and locatable minerals on specific federal lands within three years.
Requires the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to study the dollar value of liquid, gaseous, and locatable minerals in specific federal offshore areas within three years.

The studies would exclude National Park System units and national monuments designated as critical environmental areas before January 1, 2000.
