The energy and mineral resources program is one of BLM-Eastern States' largest programs. We manage about 40 million acres of mineral estate, including substantial leasing for oil and gas. We work effectively with partners in industry and conservation organizations to oversee environmentally sound fluid and solid mineral development to help sustain a healthy economy. Currently, we administer 3,600 leases for oil and gas exploration covering about 2 million acres, in 15 of the 31 Eastern States. Included in this Division's responsibilities are Oil and Gas Leasing (see 43 CFR 3100), Coal Management (see 43 CFR 3400), Management of Solid Minerals Other than Coal (see 43 CFR 3500), Mineral Material Disposal (see 43 CFR 3600), and Mining Claims Under the General Mining Laws (see 43 CFR 3800). The Code of Federal Regulations is a publication available in law libraries and most large public libraries. A copy may also be obtained from any BLM State Office. The BLM State Offices are listed on the BLM home page: www.blm.gov. BLM regulations are also available online at: www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfr-table-search.html. While BLM provides technical assistance to Indian tribes and Indian mineral owners, BLM does not lease Indian minerals. Leasing of Indian minerals is handled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Further information on leasing Indian oil and gas minerals may be found at: www.usgs.gov/indian/ OR http://energy.usgs.gov/aboutus.html
