Upon enactment of this Act, no executive branch action that withdraws more than 100 acres, in the aggregate, of public lands within the United States pursuant to the Antiquities Act of 1906 ( 16 U.S.C. 431 et seq. ) or any other relevant authority shall be effective except by compliance with this section. The provisions of this subsection shall apply to executive branch actions that withdraw less than 100 acres of public land where such withdrawals are located within 100 miles of any other withdrawal of public lands.
To the extent authorized by existing law, the President or the relevant head of an agency may withdraw public lands in the United States provided that such withdrawal shall not be effective until notice is provided in the Federal Register and to the House of Representatives and the Senate. Such withdrawal shall terminate unless approved by a Federal statute not later than one year after the notice of such withdrawal has been submitted to Congress. If Congress fails to pass an Act approving a withdrawal under subsection (b), the President or the relevant head of an agency shall be prohibited from withdrawing such land or a similar area of public lands until at least 5 years after the end of the time period described in subsection (b).
