## SEC. 27 FEDERAL RESERVATION OF CERTAIN MINERAL RIGHTS.26 The United States reserves the ownership of and the right to extract under such rules and regulations as the Secretary may prescribe oil, hydrocarbon gas, and helium from all geothermal resources produced from lands leased under this Act in accordance with presently applicable laws: *Provided,* That whenever the right to extract oil, hydrocarbon gas, and helium from geothermal resources produced from such lands is exercised pursuant to this section, it shall be exercised so as to cause no substantial interference with the production of geothermal resources from such lands. 26The amendment made by section 236(25) of Public Law 109–58 was carried out to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
The instruction to strike “SEC. 27. The” probably should have been to strike “Sec. 27. The”. **[**[30 U.S.C. 1025](/us/usc/t30/s1025)**]**
