1Opinion of the CourtJustice Thomas
*
*1841 We granted certiorari in these consolidated cases to decide whether the United States Forest Service has authority under the Mineral Leasing Act, 30 U.S.C. § 181 et seq. , to grant rights-of-way through lands within national forests traversed by the Appalachian Trail. 588 U. S. ----, 140 S.Ct. 36 , 204 L.Ed.2d 1193 (2019) ; 588 U. S. ----, 140 S.Ct. 36 , 204 L.Ed.2d 1193 (2019). We hold that the Mineral Leasing Act does grant the Forest Service that authority and therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
