through civil penalties for unauthorized excavation and/or removal, 
through provisions for the preservation of archaeological resource 
collections and data, and through provisions for ensuring 
confidentiality of information about archaeological resources when 
disclosure would threaten the archaeological resources.
    (b) The regulations in this part do not impose any new restrictions 
on activities permitted under other laws, authorities, and regulations 
relating to mining, mineral leasing, reclamation, and other multiple 
uses of the public lands.
