摘要

The report is a description of the existing Federal statutory and regulatory systems for administering the location and leasing of nonfuel minerals on the public lands, including uranium, even though it is an energy fuel mineral. Judicial and administrative decisions interpreting these systems are also analyzed and described. Nonfuel mineral disposal systems of selected states in the U.S. and Australia and in three Canadian provinces are described. Included also is a listing and discussion of possible alternatives to and modifications of the existing Federal systems which may be considered. (PLLRC abstract)
