handle is hein.gao/gaobabcwf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Impediments To U.S. Involvement In Deep Ocean Mining Can Be Overcome The abundant resources on the deep seabed could help relieve the Nation's almost total re- liance on foreign sources for certain critical minerals. The 1980 Deep Seabed Hard Miner- al Resources Act was passed to facilitate U.S. involvement in developing the seabed mineral resources. At present, however, continued U.S. involvement is quite uncertain. The uncertainty stems from strong opposi- tion, from the mining industry and others, to many of the mining provisions in the United Nations' current draft Law of the Sea Treaty which would govern deep seabed mining in international waters. In this report, GAO reviews the implemen- tation of the 1980 act; and analyzes the ma- jor impediments to U.S. involvement in deep seabed mining, particularly as they relate to the draft Law of the Sea Treaty, and offers recommendations to the Congress to over- come them. 117448 couEMD-82-31 FEBRUARY 3, 1982
