The Secretary of the Interior can let superintendents or other Indian Service officials approve mining leases — including oil and gas — on restricted tribal or allotted Indian lands, instead of approving them personally.
The Secretary of the Interior may, at the Secretary's own discretion, authorize superintendents or other officials within the Indian Service to approve leases for oil, gas, or other mining purposes. This applies to any restricted Indian lands, whether owned by a tribe or individually allotted.
