Public Availability of Mineral Resources Information

This final rule of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) amends regulations addressing the public availability of mineral resource information. The purpose of this rule is to remove conflicts between the Department of the Interior (the Department) regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and existing regulations that relate to public availability of mineral resource information. The rule also removes inconsistencies among the various mineral resources regulations relating to release of information under FOIA. Finally, it addresses the protection afforded Indian mineral information under the Indian Mineral Development Act (IMDA) and FOIA.
