Search 16 U.S.C. § 1907 : US Code - Section 1907: Recordation of mining claims; publication of notice

All mining claims under the Mining Law of 1872, as amended and
supplemented (30 U.S.C. chapters 2, 12A, and 16 and sections 161
and 162) which lie within the boundaries of units of the National
Park System shall be recorded with the Secretary of the Interior
within one year after September 28, 1976. Any mining claim not so
recorded shall be conclusively presumed to be abandoned and shall
be void. Such recordation will not render valid any claim which was
not valid on September 28, 1976, or which becomes invalid
thereafter. Within thirty days following September 28, 1976, the
Secretary shall publish notice of the requirement for such
recordation in the Federal Register. He shall also publish similar
notices in newspapers of general circulation in the areas adjacent
to those units of the National Park System listed in section 3 of
this Act.
