In issuing licenses and leases under this Act for lands that contain deposits of coal or other nonhardrock minerals, the Secretary shall reserve to the United States such nonhardrock minerals for disposal under applicable laws. The Secretary shall promulgate regulations to allow for other uses of the lands covered by a prospecting license under this Act, including leases for other minerals, if such other uses would not unreasonably interfere with operations under the prospecting license.
The Secretary shall include in such prospecting licenses such terms and conditions as the Secretary finds necessary to avoid unreasonable interference with other uses occurring on, or other leases of, the licensed lands. The Secretary shall include in leases under this Act stipulations to allow for simultaneous operations under other leases for the same lands.
