and gas leases and management of subsequent oil and gas operations on 
National Forest System lands, for approval and modification of attendant 
surface use plans of operations, for monitoring of surface disturbing 
operations on such leases, and for enforcement of surface use 
requirements and reclamation standards.
    (b) Applicability. The rules of this subpart apply to leases on 
National Forest System lands and to operations that are conducted on 
Federal oil and gas leases on National Forest System lands as of April
