question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Geothermal Production Expansion Act 
of 2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) it is in the best interest of the United States to 
        develop clean renewable geothermal energy;
            (2) development of that energy should be promoted on 
        appropriate Federal land;
            (3) under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 15801 et 
        seq.), the Bureau of Land Management is authorized to issue 3 
        different types of noncompetitive leases for production of 
        geothermal energy on Federal land, including--
                    (A) noncompetitive geothermal leases to mining 
                claim holders that have a valid operating plan;
                    (B) direct use leases; and
                    (C) leases on parcels that do not sell at a 
                competitive auction;
            (4) Federal geothermal energy leasing activity should be 
        directed toward persons seeking to develop the land as opposed 
        to persons seeking to speculate on geothermal resources and 
        artificially raising the cost of legitimate geothermal energy 
        development;
            (5) developers of geothermal energy on Federal land that 
        have invested substantial capital and made high risk 
        investments should be allowed to secure a discovery of 
        geothermal energy resources; and
            (6) successful geothermal development on Federal land will 
        provide increased revenue to the Federal Government, with the 
        payment of production royalties over decades.

SEC. 3. NONCOMPETITIVE LEASING OF ADJOINING AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF 
              GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES.

answer:

Geothermal Production Expansion Act of 2010 - Amends competitive lease provisions of the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to allow an area of qualified federal land (land that is otherwise available for leasing under that Act) that adjoins other land for which a qualified lessee holds a legal right to develop geothermal resources to be available for a noncompetitive lease to such lessee at fair market value per acre if: (1) the area of qualified federal land consists of not less than one acre and not more than 640 acres and is not already leased or nominated to be leased; (2) the qualified lessee has not previously received a noncompetitive lease in connection with the valid discovery for which data has been submitted; and (3) sufficient technical data prepared by a qualified geothermal professional has been submitted by the qualified lessee to the applicable federal land management agency that would lead individuals who are experienced in the subject matter to believe that there is a valid discovery of geothermal resources on the land and that such thermal feature extends into the adjoining areas.

Defines "fair market value per acre" as a dollar amount per acre that shall be: (1) equal to the market value per acre as determined by the Secretary of the Interior within 90 days after the Secretary receives an application for a lease, and (2) not less than the greater of 4 times the median amount paid per acre for all land leased under such Act during the preceding year or $50.

Directs the Secretary to: (1) publish a notice of any request for such a lease; (2) determine fair market value in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary; (3) provide to a qualified lessee and publish any proposed determination of the fair market value of the area the qualified lessee seeks to lease; and (4) provide the lessee and the public an opportunity to appeal a proposed determination during the 30-day period after the determination is provided or published, respectively. Prohibits the Secretary from accepting any nomination of land for leasing after publication of a notice of request to lease such land unless the request has been denied or withdrawn.
