What it does
The bill would allow the Secretary of the Interior to lease certain mineral deposits located within the City of Carlsbad, New Mexico, despite federal laws that typically prohibit such leasing in incorporated cities, towns, and villages. This authorization is contingent on the City of Carlsbad providing written consent to the Secretary. The bill applies to land owned by the United States or acquired land situated within Carlsbad’s municipal boundaries, and leasing would proceed under existing federal mineral leasing authorities such as the Mineral Leasing Act and the Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands.
