16 U.S.C. § 459h–3 — Rights-of-way or easements for transportation of oil and gas minerals

Buying land for Gulf Islands National Seashore cannot cancel existing rights-of-way needed to move oil and gas through the Seashore from outside it. The Secretary must also allow new rights-of-way for that purpose when needed, subject to rules protecting the Seashore.

When the government buys land, water, or related rights for the Seashore, that purchase cannot cancel any existing right-of-way or easement that is needed to move oil or gas that comes from outside the Seashore's boundaries. The Secretary must also allow additional rights-of-way or easements for that same purpose whenever the Secretary decides they are necessary and proper — but only under rules that protect the Seashore's natural and recreational value.

Any acquisition of lands, waters, or interests therein shall not diminish any existing rights-of-way or easements which are necessary for the transportation of oil and gas minerals through the seashore which oil and gas minerals are removed from outside the boundaries thereof; and, the Secretary, subject to appropriate regulations for the protection of the natural and recreational values for which the seashore is established, shall permit such additional rights-of-way or easements as he deems necessary and proper.
