Summary

The Secretary of the Interior may, under rules he makes, issue leases or permits to explore, develop, and use mineral deposits in lands added to the Shasta National Forest by the Act of March 19, 1948 (Public Law 449, Eightieth Congress). This does not cover minerals that are governed by chapter 7 of this title. It applies to lands bought with U.S. money or received in exchange. If the land is managed by the Secretary of Agriculture, his approval and any conditions he sets are required to protect the purposes of the 1948 Act. Money from these leases or permits must go into the same Treasury accounts and be shared the same way as other income from those lands, and sections 192a to 192c do not change that distribution.
