After October 27, 1986, El Portal housing or facility leases must follow regulations the Secretary of the Interior writes. These rules set who can get a lease or sublease, how lease fees are set, and when the Secretary may buy back a lease. New regulations only take effect 60 days after being sent to two congressional committees.

This section requires regulations for El Portal leases. After October 27, 1986, no lease for housing or other facilities in the El Portal administrative site may be issued unless it follows regulations the Secretary of the Interior has written. Those regulations must cover three things: who qualifies — both individuals and corporations — to get a lease and a sublease; how fees for those leases and subleases will be set; and the circumstances under which the Secretary may choose to buy back an unexpired lease or sublease. Before any such regulation can take effect, it must first be sent to the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The regulation only becomes effective 60 calendar days after it was submitted to those committees.
