These provisions may include changes to the leasing process, regulations for environmental protection, or other aspects of mineral extraction on federal lands. Overall, Bill 119 s 451 is aimed at streamlining the process for companies to obtain mineral leases on federal lands by removing the administrative fee and making other necessary changes to the Mineral Leasing Act. The bill is currently under consideration in Congress and may undergo further revisions before being passed into law.
