Sec. 2320.2  General determinations under the Federal Power Act.

    (a) On April 22, 1922, the Federal Power Commission (as predecessor 
to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) made a general 
determination ``that where lands of the United States have heretofore 
been or hereafter may be reserved or classified as powersites, such 
reservation or classification being made solely because such lands are 
either occupied by power transmission lines or their occupancy and use 
for such purposes have been applied for or authorized under appropriate 
laws of the United States, and such lands have otherwise no value for 
power purposes, and are not occupied in trespass, the Commission 
determines that the value of such lands so reserved or classified or so 
applied for or authorized, shall not be injured or destroyed for the 
purposes of power development by location, entry or selection under the 
public land laws, subject to the reservation of section 24 of the 
Federal Power Act.''
    (b) The regulations governing mining locations on lands withdrawn or 
classified for power purposes, including lands that have been restored 
and opened to mining locations under section 24 of the Federal Power 
Act, are contained in subpart 3730 and in Group 3800 of this title.
