If a landowner keeps the mineral-rights reservation described in section 410j, the federal government can't buy, acquire, end, or interfere with that owner's leases during the reservation period — unless the owner agrees.

This section protects owners who kept the mineral-rights reservation described in subsections (1) and (2) of section 410j of this title. While that reservation period lasts, the federal government cannot purchase, acquire, end, or otherwise interfere with any lease tied to that owner's land. The only way the government can do any of those things during the reservation period is if the owner agrees to it first.
