New Federal Law Affects Public Land Oil Leasing
The act opens federal lands to leasing for oil and related minerals including oil shale and coal. It sets tract sizes from 40 to 2560 acres with competitive bidding, offers prospecting permits for two years, and requires royalties of at least 5 percent and annual rentals starting at $1 per acre. It covers national forest lands but excludes national parks.
