## SEC. 7 ACREAGE LIMITATIONS.7 A geothermal lease shall embrace a reasonably compact area of not more than 5,120 acres, except where a departure therefrom is occasioned by an irregular subdivision or subdivisions. No person, association, or corporation, except as otherwise provided in this Act, shall take, hold, own, or control at one time, whether acquired directly from the Secretary under this Act or otherwise, any direct or indirect interest in Federal geothermal leases in any one State exceeding 51,200 acres, including leases acquired under the provisions of section 4 of this Act. 7The amendment made by section 235(1) of Public Law 109–58 was carried out to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
The instruction to strike “SEC. 7.” probably should have been to strike “Sec. 7.”. **[**[30 U.S.C. 1006](/us/usc/t30/s1006)**]**
