Sec. 2916.0-8  Area subject to lease.

    (a) Acreage limitation and exceptions. (1) On the mainland such 
leases may be for an area not exceeding 640 acres. A lease may cover an 
entire island, provided the area thereof does not exceed 30 square 
miles, and provided the need for such entire island is clearly 
established. Islands so close together that animals can cross from one 
to the other and whose combined area does not exceed 30 square miles, 
will be treated as one island. Islands having an area of more than 30 
square miles will be treated as mainland.
    (2) Where a lease is granted for an area in excess of 640 acres on 
an island, the manager may, after notice to the lessee, reduce the area 
to an amount not less than 640 acres, if he determines that the lessee 
cannot reasonably use all of the area for which the lease was granted.
    (b) Lands subject to lease. (1) Vacant, unreserved, and 
unappropriated public lands are subject to lease.
    (2) Except for lands under the jurisdiction of the Fish and Wildlife 
Service and the National Park Service, public lands withdrawn or 
reserved for any purpose are subject to lease, if the department or 
agency having jurisdiction thereof consents to the issuance of the 
lease.
