I. Abstract

    The Organic Act of 1916 (NPS Organic Act) (54 U.S.C. 100101) 
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to develop regulations for 
national park units under the Department's jurisdiction. The Mining in 
the Parks Act (54 U.S.C. 100731 et seq.) directs the Secretary of the 
Interior to regulate all operations in park units in connection with 
the exercise of mineral rights on patented and unpatented mining 
claims.
    The regulations at 36 CFR part 9, subparts A and B, ensure that 
mining and non-Federal oil and gas activities on units of the National 
Park System are conducted in a manner consistent with preserving each 
unit for the benefit of present and future generations. The information 
required by Subpart A identifies the claim, claimant, and operator (the 
claimant and operator are often the same) and details how the operator 
intends to access and develop the minerals associated with the claim. 
It also identifies the steps the operator intends to take to minimize 
any adverse impacts of the mining operations on park resource and 
values. No information, except claim ownership information, is 
submitted unless the claimant wishes to conduct mining operations. The 
information required by Subpart B identifies the owner and operator 
(the owner and operator are often the same) and details how the 
operator intends to access and develop the oil and gas rights. It also 
identifies the steps the operator intends to take to minimize any 
adverse impacts on park resources and values. No information is 
submitted unless the owner wishes to conduct oil and gas operations.
