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lands withdrawn or reserved for any purpose are subject to lease, if the 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.
