in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

An officer picked by the Secretary of the Interior must administer any oath the law or the Bureau of Land Management requires when someone enters or buys public land. That officer can't charge any fee for giving the oath.

This section names who administers oaths connected with claiming or buying public land, and bars charging for it. The officer the Secretary of the Interior designates is authorized — and required — to administer any oath that a law or the Bureau of Land Management's instructions call for, in connection with entering or purchasing a tract of public land. That officer is not allowed to charge or receive any payment, directly or indirectly, for administering the oath.
