HR 7004 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Mineral Leasing Act to amend references of gilsonite to asphaltite.

This bill (HR 7004) makes a technical correction to the Mineral Leasing Act by replacing the term "gilsonite" with "asphaltite" in several specific sections of the law (30 U.S.C. 181, 241, 184, 182, 209, 226-3). It does not change any mining regulations, fees, or requirements; it only updates the legal terminology to reflect the more commonly used term "asphaltite" for this natural asphalt material. The bill affects how the law is written but has no impact on current mining operations, permits, or the entities that lease federal mineral rights.
