United States government leases

The commission recognizes that all persons exploring on United States government land or for United States government minerals shall comply with the federal regulations. Such persons shall also comply with all applicable state rules and regulations which are not in conflict with federal regulations, except that no fee shall be required or a permit application if such permit is a permit to explore on United States government land. All other rules, regulations, and orders apply to permit applicants and permitholders where the permit in question covers United States government land, including the requirement that the permitholder shall furnish the state geologist with copies of the basic data reports, with no charge to the state geologist.
