Archaeological Resource Surveys and Reports on Outer Continental Shelf Lease Tracts

This rule amends the regulatory program of the Minerals Management Service (MMS) to state specifically the authority of MMS to require lessees or operators to conduct archaeological resource surveys and submit reports prior to exploration, development and production, or installation of lease term or right-of-way pipelines. This rule also standardizes the definition and use of the term ``archaeological resources'' within MMS's regulatory program.
