    Abstract: Congress passed legislation specifically addressing oil 
and gas leasing on Osage lands and requiring Secretarial approval of 
leases. See 34 Stat. 543, section 3, as amended. The regulations art 25

must provide related to drilling, development, and production of oil 
and gas on Osage reservation land. The oil, gas, and land are assets 
that the United States holds in trust or restricted status for Indian 
beneficiaries. The information collections in 25 CFR 226 are necessary 
to ensure that the beneficial owners of the mineral rights are provided 
the royalties due them, ensure that the oil and gas trust assets are 
protected, and to ensure that the surface estate assets are protected.
