Leasing of Osage Reservation Lands for Oil and Gas Mining (25 CFR 226)

OMB 1076-0180 · DOI/BIA.

OMB 1076-0180

In 1906, Congress passed “An Act for the division of the lands and funds of the Osage Indians in Oklahoma Territory, and for other purposes,” providing for allotment of the Osage Nation’s lands. See Act of June 28, 1906, Pub. L. No. 59-321, 34 Stat. 539, as amended (1906 Act). Section 3 of the 1906 Act severed the surface estate from the subsurface mineral estate (Osage Mineral Estate) and reserved all oil, gas, coal, and other minerals to the Osage Nation. Thus, the United States holds the Osage Mineral Estate in trust for the benefit of the Osage Nation. The 1906 Act authorizes the Osage Nation to lease the Osage Mineral Estate for oil and gas mining, subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior and under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe. The regulations governing such leasing are set forth in 25 CFR 226. The information collections in 25 CFR part 226 specify what information lessees, operators, and others must provide to the BIA regarding leasing, exploration, development, and production. These information collections are necessary for the BIA to administer leasing of the Osage Mineral Estate, collect and account for royalty revenues, and ensure the protection of resource values.

The latest form for Leasing of Osage Reservation Lands for Oil and Gas Mining (25 CFR 226) expires 2029-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202507-1076-001.
