AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would withdraw about 4,288 acres of Bureau of Land Management land near Placitas, New Mexico, shown as Tracts A through D on a 2019 map, from mining claims and from mineral, mineral materials, and geothermal leasing. Existing valid rights would not be affected. The Secretary of the Interior could still transfer the surface land under existing federal land laws, but the United States would have to keep ownership of the minerals under any land that is transferred.
