Section 304 of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 ( 30 U.S.C. 1753 ) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: Notwithstanding any other provision of law, sections 107, 109, and 110 of this Act and the regulations duly promulgated with respect thereto shall apply to any lease authorizing the development of coal or any other solid mineral on any Federal lands or Indian lands, to the same extent as if such lease were an oil and gas lease, on the same terms and conditions as those authorized for oil and gas leases.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, sections 107, 109, and 110 of this Act and the regulations duly promulgated with respect thereto shall apply with respect to any lease, easement, right-of-way, or other agreement, regardless of form (including any royalty, rent, or other payment due thereunder)— under section 8(k) or 8(p) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act ( 43 U.S.C. 1337(k) and 1337(p)); or under the Geothermal Steam Act ( 30 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), to the same extent as if such lease, easement, right-of-way, or other agreement were an oil and gas lease on the same terms and conditions as those authorized for oil and gas leases.
For the purposes of this subsection, the term solid mineral means any mineral other than oil, gas, and geo-pressured-geothermal resources, that is authorized by an Act of Congress to be produced from public lands (as that term is defined in section 103 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 ( 43 U.S.C. 1702 )). .
