Sec. 3135.1-2  Requirements for filing of transfers.

    (a)(1) All instruments of transfer of lease or of an interest 
therein, including operating rights, subleases and assignments of 
record-title shall be filed in triplicate for approval. Such instruments 
shall be filed within 90 days from the date of final execution. The 
instruments of transfer shall include a statement, over the transferee's 
own signature, with respect to citizenship and qualifications as 
required of a bidder under Sec. 3132.4 of this title and shall contain 
all of the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties thereto. 
Carried working interests, overriding royalty interests or payments out 
of production or other interest may be created or transferred without 
approval.
    (2) An application for approval of any instrument required to be 
filed shall not be accepted unless accompanied by a nonrefundable fee of 
$25. Any document not required to be filed by the regulations in this 
part but submitted for record purposes shall be accompanied by a 
nonrefundable fee of $25 per each lease affected. Such documents may be 
rejected by the authorized officer.
    (b) An attorney-in-fact, on behalf of the holder of a lease, 
operating rights or sublease, shall furnish evidence of authority to 
execute the transfer or application for approval and the statement 
required by Sec. 3132.5(g) of this title.
    (c) Where a transfer of record title creates separate leases, a bond 
shall be furnished covering the transferred lands in the amount 
prescribed in Sec. 3134.1 of this title. Where a transfer does not 
create separate leases, the transferee, if the transfer so provides and 
the surety consents, may become co-principal on the bond with the 
transferor.
