A bill to provide for the suspension of annual assessment work on mining claims held by location in the United States.

Suspends, until July 1, 1980, the requirement on pre-patented, located mining claims that not less than $100 worth of labor be performed or improvements be made each year. Expresses the finding of Congress that a significant fuel savings could be realized by suspending such nominal improvement requirement. Prescribes the filing requirements for claimants to benefit from this Act.
