- Description:
- This text is a public law that empowers the Secretary of the Interior to grant rights-of-way for various purposes across lands of individual Indians or Indian tribes. It outlines the conditions for granting these rights-of-way and specifies that compensation must be paid to the Indian owners. The law also addresses the process for obtaining consent for rights-of-way and states that existing statutory authority empowering the Secretary of the Interior to grant rights-of-way over Indian lands is not repealed. Additionally, the Secretary is authorized to prescribe regulations for administering the law. The law is set to become operative thirty days after its approval.
