Summary
Powder River Basin Resource Development Act of 1999 - Amends the Mineral Leasing Act to mandate that all operations in the Powder River Basin (Wyoming and Montana) for development and production of coal, oil, or natural gas, including coalbed methane, be conducted under Federal and State law so as not to cause undue interference and in a manner compatible with such multiple use. Encourages the pertinent lessees of coal, oil, and natural gas to enter into written agreements detailing the operations and costs for concurrent or sequential development of those resources. Prescribes implementation guidelines that include: (1) exploration activities; (2) negotiations concerning priority for certain operations; (3) compensation procedures for assignment of development priority; (4) credit against royalties for certain payments by lease holders; and (5) encouragement of expedited development of Federal minerals that are leased within common areas which might otherwise be lost or bypassed.
