This amendment replaces the resolution's general request for Wyoming mineral leasing authority with a more narrowly tailored proposal requesting cooperative agreements with specific administrative and revenue-sharing provisions.

• Removes all whereas clauses (pages 2-7) that provide background and rationale for the resolution. (Page 2, lines 15-23; Pages 3-6 entirely; Page 7, lines 1-14)
• Removes the original Section 1 requesting Congress amend the Mineral Leasing Act to authorize Wyoming to administer and manage mineral leasing on federal lands. (Page 8, lines 12-22)
• Replaces the original Section 1 with a new request for Congress to authorize the Secretary of Interior to enter into cooperative agreements with Wyoming for administrative primacy over mineral leasing on specified federal lands. The new language preserves federal ownership, requires consistency with federal law, allows mutual modification or termination, and provides that Wyoming retains the two percent administrative cost deduction from 30 U.S.C. § 191(b) instead of the federal government. (Page 10, lines 14-18)
