Sec. 3110.1  Lands available for noncompetitive offer and lease.


    (a) Offer. (1) Effective June 12, 1988, through January 2, 1989, 
noncompetitive lease offers may be filed only for lands available under 
Sec. 3110.1(b) of this title. Noncompetitive lease offers filed after 
December 22, 1987, and prior to June 12, 1988, for lands available for 
filing under Sec. 3110.1(a) of this title shall receive priority. Such 
offers shall be exposed to competitive bidding under subpart 3120 of 
this title and if no bid is received, a noncompetitive lease shall be 
issued all else being regular. After January 2, 1989, noncompetitive 
lease offers may be filed on unleased lands, except for:
    (i) Those lands which are in the one-year period commencing upon the 
expiration, termination, relinquishment, or cancellation of the leases 
containing the lands; and
    (ii) Those lands included in a Notice of Competitive Lease Sale or a 
List of Lands Available for Competitive Nominations. Neither exception 
is applicable to lands available under Sec. 3110.1(b) of this title.
    (2) Noncompetitive lease offers may be made pursuant to an opening 
order or other notice and shall be subject to all provisions and 
procedures stated in such order or notice.
    (3) No noncompetitive lease may issue for any lands unless and until 
they have satisfied the requirements of Sec. 3110.1(b) of this title.
    (b) Lease. Only lands that have been offered competitively under 
subpart 3120 of this title, and for which no bid has been received, 
shall be available for noncompetitive lease. Such lands shall become 
available for a period of 2 years beginning on the first business day 
following the last day of the competitive oral auction, or when formal 
nominations have been requested as specified in Sec. 3120.3-1 of this 
title, or the first business day following the posting of the Notice of 
Competitive Lease Sale, and ending on that same day 2 years later. A 
lease may be issued from an offer properly filed any time within the 2-
year noncompetitive leasing period.
