Section 35 of the Mineral Leasing Act ( 30 U.S.C. 191 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for each of fiscal years 2016 through 2026, the Secretary, acting through the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, shall collect a fee for each new application for a permit to drill that is submitted to the Secretary. The amount of the fee shall be $9,500 for each new application, as indexed for United States dollar inflation from October 1, 2015 (as measured by the Consumer Price Index).
Of the fees collected under this subsection for a fiscal year, the Secretary shall transfer— for each of fiscal years 2016 through 2019— 15 percent to the field offices that collected the fees and used to process protests, leases, and permits under this Act, subject to appropriation; and 85 percent to the BLM Permit Processing Improvement Fund established under subsection (c)(2)(B) (referred to in this subsection as the Fund ); and for each of fiscal years 2020 through 2026, all of the fees to the Fund.
During each of fiscal years of 2016 through 2026, the Secretary shall not implement a rulemaking that would enable an increase in fees to recover additional costs related to processing applications for permits to drill. .
