Bill overview
This bill, the Bureau of Land Management Mineral Spacing Act, aims to streamline the permitting process for oil and gas drilling on federal lands. It exempts certain drilling activities from federal permit requirements when the federal government owns less than 50% of the mineral estate and does not own the surface estate. The bill also establishes notification procedures for state drilling permits and restricts the Secretary of the Interior's authority to require bonds or impose mitigation measures on non-federal land where federal minerals are involved.
