County payments come on top of payments in lieu of taxes

What the document says
“A payment to a county under paragraph (1) shall be in addition to a payment in lieu of taxes received by the county under chapter 69 of title 31, United States Code.”
The section requires amounts paid to States and counties to be used in line with section 35 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 191), provides that a county payment is on top of any payment in lieu of taxes under chapter 69 of title 31, United States Code, and requires the amounts for a fiscal year to be made available in the fiscal year right after the one in which they were collected.
What the document actually says
“A payment to a county under paragraph (1) shall be in addition to a payment in lieu of taxes received by the county under chapter 69 of title 31, United States Code.”
That sentence, in plain words
The county payment is extra. It does not replace the payment the county gets in place of taxes.
What this is about
That other payment comes from a different law. Both are paid. The money is handed over the year after it is collected.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
