TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 39--MINING ACTIVITY WITHIN NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM AREAS
Sec. 1907. Recordation of mining claims; publication of notice
All mining claims under the Mining Law of 1872, as amended and
supplemented (30 U.S.C. chapters 2, 12A, and 16 and sections 161 and
162) which lie within the boundaries of units of the National Park
System shall be recorded with the Secretary of the Interior within one
year after September 28, 1976. Any mining claim not so recorded shall be
conclusively presumed to be abandoned and shall be void. Such
recordation will not render valid any claim which was not valid on
September 28, 1976, or which becomes invalid thereafter. Within thirty
days following September 28, 1976, the Secretary shall publish notice of
the requirement for such recordation in the Federal Register. He shall
also publish similar notices in newspapers of general circulation in the
areas adjacent to those units of the National Park System listed in
section 3 of this Act.
