Law

Congress directs a set of land and mineral-rights swaps in Montana involving the Crow Tribe, a private mineral trust, and a private company.
If a current federal mineral lease is given up, the Interior Department must transfer about 4,530 acres of federal underground mineral rights to the Hope Family Trust.
In return, the Hope Family Trust must transfer about 4,660 acres of underground mineral rights inside the Crow Reservation to the Crow Tribe, and the U.S. can hold them in trust if the Tribe asks.
The Tribe’s newly received mineral interests would not be taxed by the State of Montana, and the Tribe and the Hope Family Trust must agree in writing on how to share future revenue.
A separate swap is meant to open public access: a company gives the U.S. about 959 acres of surface land, and the U.S. gives the company about 940 acres of other surface land.
