"(c)(1) The Secretary may within the State of Colorado lease to the 
holder of the Federal oil shale lease known as Federal Prototype 
Tract C-a additional lands necessanr for the disposal of oil shale 
wastes and the materials removed from mined lands, and for the 
building of plants, reduction works, and other facilities connected 
with oil shale operations (which lease shall be referred to herein-
after as an 'offsite lease'). The Secretary may only issue one offsite 
lease not to exceed six thousand four hundred acres. An offsite lease 
may not serve more than one Federal oil shale lease and may not be 
transferred except in conjunction with the transfer of the Federal 
oil shale lease that it serves. 
"(2) The Secretary may issue one offsite lease of not more than 
three hundred and twenty acres to any person, association or corpo-
ration which has the right to develop oil shale on non-Federal lands. 
An offsite lease serving non-Federal oil shale land may not serve 
more than one oil shale operation and may not be transferred except 
in conjunction with the transfer of the non-Federal oil shale land 
that it serves. Not more than two offsite leases may be issued under 
this paragraph. 
"(3) An offsite lease shall include no rights to any mineral 
deposits. 
"(4) The Secretary may issue offsite leases after consideration of 
the need for such lands, impacts on the environment and other 
resource values, and upon a determination that the public interest 
will be served thereby. 
"(5) An offsite lease for lands the surface of which is under the 
jurisdiction of a Federal agency other than the Department of the 
Interior shall be issued only with the consent of that other Federal 
agency and shall be subject to such terms and conditions as it may 
prescribe. 
"(6) An offsite lease shall be for such periods of time and shall 
include such lands, subject to the acreage limitations contained in 
this subsection, as the Secretary determines to be necessary to 
achieve the purposes for which the lease is issued, and shall contain 
such provisions as he determines are needed for protection of envi-
ronmental and other resource values. 
"(7) An offsite lease shall provide for the payment of an annual 
rental which shall reflect the fair market value of the rights granted 
and which shall be subject to such revisions as the Secretary, in his 
discretion, determines may be needed from time to time to continue 
to reflect the fair market value. 
"(8) An offsite lease may, at the option of the lessee, include pro-
visions for payments in any year which payments shall be credited 
against any portion of the annual rental for a subsequent year to 
the extent that such pajonent is payable by the Secretary of the 
Treasury under section 35 of this Act to the State within the

accordance with section 35, and such funds shall be distributed by 
the State only to those counties, municipalities, or jurisdictional 
subdivisions impacted by oil shale development and/or where the 
lease is sited."; and 
"(9) An offsite lease shall remain subject to leasing under the 
other provisions of this Act where such leasing would not be incom-
patible with the offsite lease. 
"(d) In recognition of the unique character of oil shale 
development: 
"(1) In determining whether to offer or issue an offsite lease 
under subsection (c), the Secretary shall consult with the Governor 
and appropriate State, local, and tribal officials of the State where 
the lands to be leased are located, and of any additional State likely 
to be affected significantly by the social, economic, or environmental 
effects of development under such lease, in order to coordinate 
Federal and State planning processes, minimize duplication of per-
mits, avoid delays, and anticipate and mitigate likely impacts of 
development. 
"(2) The Secretary may issue an offsite lease under subsection 
(d) after consideration of (A) the need for leasing, (B) impacts on the 
environment and other resource values, (C) socioeconomic factors, 
and (D) information from consultations with the Governors of the 
affected States. 
"(3) Before determining whether to offer an offsite lease under 
subsection (c), the Secretary shall seek the recommendation of the 
Governor of the State in which the lands to be leased are located as 
to whether or not to lease such lands, what alternative actions are 
available, and what special conditions could be added to the pro-
posed lease to mitigate impacts. The Secretary shall accept the 
recommendations of the Governor if he determines that they 
provide for a reasonable balance between the national interest and 
Publication in 
the State's interests. The Secretary shall communicate to the 
Federal 
Governor, in writing, and publish in the Federal Register the reasons 
egis er.
