submitted 46 years ago by Pub. L. 96-283 to r/title-30-MINERAL-LANDS-AND-MINING · 196 words · no verdicts yet
If an international agreement takes effect for the United States, compatible provisions and regulations continue for United States citizens. The Administrator must try to preserve existing United States exploration and recovery activities and report to Congress within one year.
If an international agreement takes effect for the United States, each provision of subchapter I, this subchapter, or subchapter III, and each regulation issued under any of those provisions, that is not inconsistent with the agreement continues to apply to United States citizens. In carrying out the agreement, the Administrator, after consulting with the Secretary of State, must make every effort, to the greatest extent practicable consistent with the agreement’s provisions, to allow exploration and commercial recovery activities that United States citizens began before the agreement took effect to continue. Within one year after the agreement takes effect, the Administrator must submit a report to Congress about actions taken under this section. The report must include, among other things: (1) a description of the status under the agreement of deep seabed mining operations by United States citizens; and (2) an assessment of whether United States citizens who were engaged in exploration or commercial recovery when the agreement took effect were allowed to continue those operations.
If an international agreement enters into force with respect to the United States, any provision of subchapter I, this subchapter, or subchapter III, and any regulation issued under any such provision, which is not inconsistent with such international agreement shall continue in effect with respect to United States citizens. In the implementation of such international agreement the Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary of State, shall make every effort, to the maximum extent practicable consistent with the provisions of that agreement, to provide for the continued operation of exploration and commercial recovery activities undertaken by United States citizens prior to entry into force of the agreement. The Administrator shall submit to the Congress, within one year after the date of such entry into force, a report on the actions taken by the Administrator under this section, which report shall include, but not be limited to—
a description of the status of deep seabed mining operations of United States citizens under the international agreement; and
an assessment of whether United States citizens who were engaged in exploration or commercial recovery on the date such agreement entered into force have been permitted to continue their operations.
