A bill to amend the Mineral Leasing Act to amend references of gilsonite to asphaltite.

This bill removes statutory references to gilsonite and replaces them with references to asphaltite. This includes, for example, references to requirements for leases to qualified persons for the extraction of this material on U.S. lands. 

Asphaltite is a hydrocarbon used as an additive in pigments, asphalt, oilwell cement, and other chemical products. Gilsonite, a type of asphaltite, is a registered trademark.
