    (a) No person or entity shall take, hold, own or control more than 
246,080 acres of Federal oil and gas leases in any one State at any one 
time. No more than 200,000 acres of such acres may be held under option.
    (b) In Alaska, the acreage that can be taken, held, owned or

boundary between the United States and Canada, then northwesterly along

Tanana and Yukon Rivers, and then along the left limit of the Yukon 
River from said confluence to its principal southern mouth.
