Public lands: Interior should recover the costs of recording mining claims

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5910558

GAO believes that direct and indirect costs associated with recording mining claims can be recovered. Compliance with the Department of the Interior's cost recovery policy and guidelines could have increased fee collections by up to $1.7 million in FY 1984. Comparable savings could be realized in the future if the Bureau of Land Management follows Interior's cost recovery guidelines for determining recoverable costs associated with recording mining claims.
