16 U.S.C. § 441h — Jurisdiction of mining and mineral rights; patents

This section handles land that gets removed from Badlands National Park. When the Secretary of the Interior issues an order (or orders) eliminating federal land from the park, administrative control over that land transfers to the Secretary of Agriculture. That land is then used, managed, and disposed of under title III of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, along with the related provisions of title IV of that same Act. There's a condition for lands that came from the public domain: any such land that was formerly set apart and reserved from the public domain remains subject to the mining laws and the mineral-leasing laws — meaning private parties can still mine or lease minerals there. There's a second condition too: whenever any of these formerly public-domain lands are disposed of — sold, transferred, or otherwise conveyed — that disposal must be documented through a patent (a formal land grant) issued by the Secretary of the Interior.
