To amend section 37 of the Mineral Leasing Act relating to oil shale claims, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the Mineral Lands Leasing Act of 1920 to prohibit the issuance of patents for oil shale claims after a specified date. Exempts certain claims from such prohibition. Directs the Secretary of the Interior to undertake an expedited program to determine the validity of all unpatented oil shale claims. Requires the owner of each unpatented oil shale claim to elect either to: (1) apply to the Secretary for a lease; or (2) maintain the claim by complying with all laws and regulations pertaining to the maintenance of mining claims. Requires the Secretary to cancel the claim of any owner who does not make such an election. Requires the Secretary to: (1) promulgate a final rule regarding annual diligent effort expenditure requirements; (2) review such expenditures on an annual basis; and (3) cancel any claim for which the annual expenditure requirement has not been met. Mandates that lease or claim holders under this Act reclaim the affected site and post a bond before disturbance of the site to guarantee such reclamation.
