Abstract: The General Mining Law (30
U.S.C. 29, 30, and 39) authorizes a
holder of an unpatented claim for
hardrock minerals to apply for fee title
(patent) to the federal land (as well as
minerals) embraced in the claim.
Division E, Title I of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118–
42), the annual appropriation bill for the
Department of the Interior, prevents the
BLM from processing mineral patent
applications unless the applications
were grandfathered under the initial
legislation. While grandfathered
applications are rare at present, the
approval to collect the information
continues to be necessary because of the
possibility that the moratorium will be
lifted and applicable regulations that
contain the information are still part of
the Code of Federal Regulations. OMB
control number 1004–0025 is scheduled
to expire on July 31, 2025. This request
is for OMB to renew this OMB control
number for an additional three (3) years.
Title of Collection: Mineral Surveys,
Mineral Patent Applications, Adverse
Claims, Protests, and Contests (43 CFR
parts 3860 and 3870).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0025.
Form Numbers: 3860–2 and 3860–5.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Owners
of unpatented mining claims and mill
sites upon the public lands, and of
reserved mineral lands of the United
States, National Forests, and National
Parks.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 1.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 10.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from 1–100 hours,
depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 559.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: $259,035.

Bidder Disclosure

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Several tracts available for bid in the
sale are the subject of ongoing litigation
in the U.S. District Court for the District
of Alaska. Tract 29 covers the StainesCanning River area along the
northwestern boundary of the Arctic
Refuge, which the State of Alaska claims
an entitlement to under the Alaska
Statehood Act in State of Alaska v. U.S.
Department of the Interior, et al. (Case
No. 3:22–cv–00078–SLG). Tracts 16, 17,
24, 26, 27, 30 and 31 were leased to the
Alaska Industrial Development and
Export Authority (AIDEA) in January
2021, but those leases were
subsequently cancelled by the U.S.
Department of the Interior in September
2023 due to pre-leasing legal defects.
AIDEA challenges those cancellations
and seeks reinstatement of the leases in
Alaska Industrial Development and
Export Authority v. United States
Department of the Interior (Case No.
3:24–cv–00051–SLG). In the event that
one or more of these cases results in a
decision adverse to the Department and
a remedy that changes the status quo, a
court or the Department may ultimately
determine the validity of any lease
issued in this sale to the extent it is for
a disputed tract.
The 2025 Coastal Plain Oil and Gas
Lease Sale will include 12 tracts
(approximately 400,000 acres) that are
available for leasing under the Coastal
Plain Environmental Impact Statement
Record of Decision issued in December
2024.
The opening and reading of the bids
for the 2025 lease sale will be available
for online public viewing via video
livestreaming at https://www.blm.gov/
live.
The Detailed Statement of Sale
includes a description of the areas the
BLM is offering for lease, as well as the
lease terms, conditions, special
stipulations, required operating
procedures, and directions for how to
submit bids. If you plan to submit a
bid(s), please note that all bids must be
sealed in accordance with the
provisions identified in the Detailed
Statement of Sale.
The United States reserves the right to
withdraw any tract from this sale prior
to issuance of a written acceptance of a
bid.
