Summary
The bill lets the Interior Department lease mineral deposits that lie within the city limits of Carlsbad, New Mexico, even though federal law normally bars leasing in incorporated cities. The city must provide written permission before any lease can be issued. This change could open new development opportunities for mineral operators while giving the city a say in the process.
