To exempt Federal actions related to energy and mineral activities on certain Federal lands from the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.

This bill proposes to exempt specific federal actions related to energy and mineral activities on certain federal lands from the environmental review requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) . By doing so, it aims to streamline the process for these activities by declaring them not to be "major Federal actions" under NEPA. The exemption applies to the issuance, granting, or renewal of leases, easements, or rights-of-way for the exploration, development, or production of oil, gas, or coal under the Mineral Leasing Act. It also covers permits and other authorizations for the exploration, location, development, or extraction of critical minerals on lands open to mineral entry, as governed by the Mining Law of 1872.
