Unallotted lands inside Indian reservations created by Executive order can be leased for oil and gas mining. The same rules that apply under section 398 apply here too.

This section covers unallotted lands inside a reservation or land withdrawal that a President created by Executive order for Indian purposes, or for Indians or a tribe to use and occupy. These lands may be leased for oil and gas mining. The lease must follow the same rules that section 398 of this title sets out for other Indian reservation lands.
