Summary

States that in the case of the Wayne National Forest: (1) an election under the Mineral Leasing Act to continue a certain kind of oil or gas land lease as a non-competitive lease shall be deemed to be an election to continue operations pursuant to the existing lease rather than to continue as a non-competitive lease; and (2) the Secretary of the Interior is accordingly not obligated to issue a noncompetitive lease for such lands. Makes inapplicable to such an election the current declaration that a lease continued as a noncompetitive lease shall continue as long as oil or gas continues to be produced in paying quantities. Permits specified current leaseholders to retain a previous election to continue as a noncompetitive lease upon appropriate notification of their intention to the Secretary.
