Legal memorandum prepared by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) dated 6 Jul 05. The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 has been amended to authorize a new round of base realignment and closure (BRAC) actions in 2005. Consistent with the law, the Department of Defense (DOD) has prepared a list of candidate military installations for closure or realignment actions. Among these installations are several Air National Guard and Army National Guard facilities. Two provisions of law, 10 U.S.C. § 18238 and 32 U.S.C. § 104(c), have been seen as impediments to BRAC actions at these facilities. The application of these provisions to the BRAC process is the subject of this memorandum.

Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "The General Mining Act of 1872 helped open the West by allowing individuals to obtain exclusive rights to mine billions of dollars worth of gold, silver, and other hardrock (locatable) minerals from federal lands without having to pay a federal royalty. However, western states charge royalties so that they share in the proceeds from the hardrock minerals extracted from their lands. For years, some mining operators abandoned land used in their mining operations, creating environmental and physical safety hazards. To curb further growth in the number of abandoned hardrock mines on federal lands, in 1981, the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) began requiring mining operators to reclaim BLM land disturbed by these operations."
