                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
    CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 3180--ONSHORE OIL AND GAS UNIT AGREEMENTS: UNPROVEN AREAS--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart 3181--Application for Unit Agreement
 
Sec. 3181.1  Preliminary consideration of unit agreement.


    The model unit agreement set forth in Sec. 3186.1 of this title, is 
acceptable for use in unproven areas. Unique situations requiring 
special provisions should be clearly identified, since these and other 
special conditions may necessitate a modification of the model unit 
agreement set forth in Sec. 3186.1 of this title. Any proposed special 
provisions or other modifications of the model agreement should be 
submitted for preliminary consideration so that any necessary revision 
may be prescribed prior to execution by the interested parties. Where 
Federal lands constitute less than 10 percent of the total unit area, a 
non-Federal unit agreement may be used. Upon submission of such an 
agreement, the authorized officer will take appropriate action to commit 
the Federal lands.
