                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR

 

    CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

 

PART 3100_OIL AND GAS LEASING--Table of Contents

 

                     Subpart 3101_Issuance of Leases

 

Sec. 3101.1-4  Modification or waiver of lease terms and stipulations.



    A stipulation included in an oil and gas lease shall be subject to 

modification or waiver only if the authorized officer determines that 

the factors leading to its inclusion in the lease have changed 

sufficiently to make the protection provided by the stipulation no 

longer justified or if proposed operations would not cause unacceptable 

impacts. If the authorized officer has determined, prior to lease 

issuance, that a stipulation involves an issue of major concern to the 

public, modification or waiver of the stipulation shall be subject to 

public review for at least a 30-day period. In such cases, the 

stipulation shall indicate that public review is required before 

modification or waiver. If subsequent to lease issuance the authorized 

officer determines that a modification or waiver of a lease term or 

stipulation is substantial, the modification or waiver shall be subject 

to public review for at least a 30-day period.
