To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 50101

The section requires the Secretary of the Interior to resume quarterly onshore oil and gas lease sales at once under the Mineral Leasing Act, to hold each required sale immediately once all scoping, public comment and environmental analysis under that Act and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 are complete, and to run those processes in time to meet the duty to resume.

That sentence, in plain words

The Interior Secretary must start holding lease sales again. They must be held every three months. They must follow an older mining law.

What this is about

Each sale must go ahead as soon as the reviews are done. Those reviews cover public comment and effects on the land. They must be run in good time.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
