U.S. Senators Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and James Lankford (R-OK) are challenging the Biden Administration’s proposed rule which could destroy oil and gas production on the Osage Mineral Estate and negatively impact headright owners who depend on mineral production for their livelihoods. Mullin and Lankford were joined in sending the letter to the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Bryan Newland by Representative Frank Lucas (R-OK).
“As drafted, this would negatively impact all headright owners’ ability to utilize their own resources on their own land. We ask for a delay in the implementation of the rules, as well as increased consultation with the Osage Minerals Council, the Osage Nation, and producers within the estate,” the Members wrote in the letter.
