## SEC. 15 LANDS SUBJECT TO GEOTHERMAL LEASING.16 16The amendment made by section 236(15) of Public Law 109–58 was carried out to reflect the probable intent of Congress. The instruction to strike “SEC. 15.
(a)Geothermal” probably should have been to strike “Sec. 15.
(a)Geothermal”. ###
(a)Geothermal leases for lands withdrawn or acquired in aid of functions of the Department of the Interior may be issued only under such terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe to insure adequate utilization of the lands for the purposes for which they were withdrawn or acquired. ###

Geothermal leases for lands to which section 24 of the Federal Power Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 818), is applicable, may be issued only with the consent of, and subject to, such terms and conditions as the Federal Power Commission may prescribe to insure adequate utilization of such lands for power and related purposes. ###
