A bill to amend section 28(w) of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended, to repeal the 60-day waiting period for the granting of pipeline rights of way.

Summary

Amends the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 to direct the Secretary of the Interior (or the appropriate agency head) to promptly notify certain congressional committees upon receipt of an application for a right-of-way for pipelines 24 inches or more in diameter. Precludes granting such right-of-way until a notice of intention accompanied by detailed findings regarding proposed right-of-way conditions has been submitted to such committees (currently a 60-day waiting period is required).
