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    (b) The regulations governing mining locations on lands withdrawn or 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.
