Mineral Revenues: Corps of Engineers Management of Mineral Leases

In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the Army's administration of private mineral leases to determine whether the Army: (1) violated federal law by failing to turn over lease administration to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); (2) monitored mineral leases for compliance with their terms and collected the rents and royalties due the federal government; and (3) distributed to the states their statutory shares of mineral revenues from the leases.
