Oil and gas operations for the exploration for or development or production of oil and gas in a lease or unit or communitization agreement in which the United States holds a mineral ownership interest of 50 percent or less. Oil and gas operations that may have potential drainage impacts, as determined by the Bureau of Land Management, on oil and gas in which the United States holds a mineral ownership interest. The Secretary of the Interior shall provide to each State a map or list indicating Federal mineral ownership within that State.
