The term helium-related project means a project— to explore or produce crude helium; and to sell crude or refined helium. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, applicable environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. ) for helium-related projects shall be completed on an expeditious basis and the shortest existing applicable process under that Act shall be used for such projects. The first section of the Mineral Leasing Act ( 30 U.S.C. 181 ) is amended by striking the flush text that follows the last undesignated subsection.
The Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands ( 30 U.S.C. 351 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: Any lease issued under this Act that authorizes exploration for, or development or production of, gas shall be considered to grant to the lessee a right of first refusal to engage in exploration for, and development and production of, helium on land that is subject to the lease in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary. .
