Abstract: Congress passed legislation
specifically addressing oil and gas
leasing on Osage lands and requiring
Secretarial approval of leases. See 34
Stat. 543, section 3, as amended. The
regulations art 25 CFR 226 implement
that statute by specifying what
information a lessee must provide
related to drilling, development, and
production of oil and gas on Osage
reservation land. The oil, gas, and land
are assets that the United States holds
in trust or restricted status for Indian
beneficiaries. The information
collections in 25 CFR 226 are necessary
to ensure that the beneficial owners of
the mineral rights are provided the
royalties due them, ensure that the oil
and gas trust assets are protected, and to
ensure that the surface estate assets are
protected.
Title of Collection: Leasing of Osage
Reservation lands for Oil and Gas
Mining.
OMB Control Number: 1076–0180.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Request for extension
of a currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
September 2008, Keystone filed with the
United States Department of State an
initial application for a Presidential
Permit to construct, operate, maintain,
and (eventually) decommission the
Keystone XL Pipeline to transport crude
oil across the U.S./Canada border near
Morgan, Montana, to Steele City,
Nebraska, and then from Cushing,
Oklahoma, to locations along the Texas
Gulf of Mexico. The original application
for Presidential Permit was amended
and resubmitted on May 4, 2012 to
modify the Project description to: (1)
Avoid the Sand Hills Region in
Nebraska; and (2) remove the southern
segment of the Project from Cushing,
Oklahoma, to the Gulf Coast area.
In addition to its application to the
Department of State, Keystone also filed
a right-of-way application in March
2008 under Section 28 of the Mineral
Leasing Act of 1920, as amended, with
the BLM. The right-of-way application
was revised by Keystone in September
2012 and 2014 to reflect changes in the
Project description. In November 2015,
the Presidential Permit was denied. Due
to the denial, Keystone requested to
withdraw their right-of-way application
with the BLM in February 2016.
In January 2017, Keystone refiled
their application for a Presidential
Permit with the Department of State. In
February 2018, Keystone filed a revised
right-of-way application and updated
Plan of Development (POD) with the
BLM to reinitiate processing their rightof-way application. In January 2020,
Keystone updated the POD and reflected
the most recent data on the project and
clarifies minor route adjustments.
The BLM responded to Keystone’s
right-of-way application on Federal
lands administered by the BLM and
USACE to construct, operate, maintain,
and (eventually) decommission the
Project in compliance with the Mineral
Leasing Act, BLM right-of-way
regulations (43 CFR 2880), and other
applicable Federal laws, regulations,
and policies. The only Federal lands
involved in this Project are BLM and
USACE administered lands in the State
of Montana. The State Department has
been the Lead Federal Agency for the
purposes of NEPA, and BLM and the
USACE have been Cooperating Agencies
from the beginning of this project.
