A servicemember with a federal mineral permit or lease may pause operations during military service and for 180 days afterward. The permit or lease term and its rent and royalties pause during that period if the required notice is given.
(a) Suspension during military service*. A person who holds a permit or lease on public land under the Federal mineral leasing laws and enters military service may stop all operations under it during military service and for 180 days afterward. The permit or lease term does not run during the pause, and no rent or royalties are charged for that time.
(b) Notification. To receive this protection, the permittee or lessee must, within 180 days after entering military service, notify the Secretary of the Interior by registered mail that military service has begun and that the person wants to keep the claim under this section.
(c) Contract modification. This section does not override the terms of a contract for operating a permit or lease.
A person holding a permit or lease on the public domain under the Federal mineral leasing laws who enters military service may suspend all operations under the permit or lease for the duration of military service and for 180 days thereafter. The term of the permit or lease shall not run during the period of suspension, nor shall any rental or royalties be charged against the permit or lease during the period of suspension.
In order to obtain the protection of this section, the permittee or lessee shall, within 180 days after entry into military service, notify the Secretary of the Interior by registered mail of the fact that military service has begun and of the desire to hold the claim under this section.
This section shall not be construed to supersede the terms of any contract for operation of a permit or lease.
