**(b)** the settlement should be accomplished rapidly, with certainty, in conformity with the real economic and social needs of Natives, without litigation, with maximum participation by Natives in decisions affecting their rights and property, without establishing any permanent racially defined institutions, rights, privileges, or obligations, without creating a reservation system or lengthy wardship or trusteeship, and without adding to the categories of property and institutions enjoying special tax privileges or to the legislation establishing special relationships between the United States Government and the State of Alaska;

TITLE 30—MINERAL LANDS AND MINING
§ 184a
‘‘(2) Trona is mined on Federal lands through Fed-
eral sodium leases issued under the Mineral Leasing
Act of 1920 [30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.].
‘‘(3) The primary product of trona mining is soda
ash (sodium carbonate), a basic industrial chemical
that is used for glass making and a variety of con-
sumer products, including baking soda, detergents,
and pharmaceuticals.
‘‘(4) The Mineral Leasing Act [30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.]
sets for each leasable mineral limitations on the
amount of acreage of Federal leases any one producer
may hold in any one State or nationally.
‘‘(5) The present acreage limitation for Federal so-
dium (trona) leases has been in place for over five
decades, since 1948, and is the oldest acreage limita-
tion in the Mineral Leasing Act. Over this time frame
Congress and/or the BLM has revised acreage limits
for other minerals to meet the needs of the respective
industries. Currently, the sodium lease acreage limi-
tation of 15,360 acres per State is approximately one-
third of the per State Federal lease acreage cap for
coal (46,080 acres) and potassium (51,200 acres) and
one-sixteenth that of oil and gas (246,080 acres).
‘‘(6) Three of the four trona producers in Wyoming
are operating mines on Federal leaseholds that con-
tain total acreage close to the sodium lease acreage
ceiling.
‘‘(7) The same reasons that Congress cited in enact-
ing increases in other minerals’ per State lease acre-
age caps apply to trona: the advent of modern mine
technology, changes in industry economics, greater
global competition, and need to conserve the Federal
resource.
‘‘(8) Existing trona mines require additional lease
acreage to avoid premature closure, and are unable to
relinquish mined-out areas to
