All oil, gas, and other mineral leases on restricted Indian lands under sections 396a–396g (or any other law) must follow the Secretary of the Interior's rules. The Secretary can also require an oil or gas lease to follow a reasonable cooperative unit or other development plan the Secretary approves or sets, whether that plan comes before or after the lease is issued.
All operations under any oil, gas, or other mineral lease issued pursuant to the terms of sections 396a to 396g of this title or any other Act affecting restricted Indian lands shall be subject to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary* of the Interior. In the discretion of the said Secretary, any lease for oil or gas issued under the provisions of sections 396a to 396g of this title shall be made subject to the terms of any reasonable cooperative unit or other plan approved or prescribed by said Secretary prior or subsequent to the issuance of any such lease which involves the development or production of oil or gas from land covered by such lease.
