AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow the Secretary of the Interior to lease federal mineral deposits located within the City of Carlsbad, New Mexico, even though federal mineral leasing laws normally exclude land inside incorporated cities, towns, and villages. Leasing could happen only if the City of Carlsbad gives written consent to the Secretary. The leases would follow the Mineral Leasing Act, the Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands, and other federal mineral leasing laws. The bill covers land owned or acquired by the United States that is inside Carlsbad city limits.
