                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR

 

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

 

PART 3110_NONCOMPETITIVE LEASES--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart 3110_Noncompetitive Leases

 

Sec.  3110.8  Amendment to lease.



    After the competitive process has concluded in accordance with 

subpart 3120 of this title, if any of the lands described in a lease 

offer for lands available during the 2-year period are open to oil and 

gas filing when the offer is filed but are omitted from the lease for 

any reason the original lease shall be amended to include the omitted 

lands unless, before the issuance of the amendment, the proper BLM 

office receives a withdrawal of the offer with respect to such lands or 

the offeror elects to receive a separate lease in lieu of an amendment. 

Such election shall be made by submission of a signed statement of the 

offeror requesting a separate lease, and a new offer on the required 

form executed pursuant to this part describing the remaining lands in 

the original offer. The new offer shall have the same priority as the 

old offer. No new application fee is required with the new offer. The 

rental payment held in connection with the original offer shall be 

applied to the new offer. The rental and the term of the lease for the 

lands added by an amendment shall be the same as if the lands had been 

included in the original lease when it was issued. If a separate lease 

is issued, it shall be dated in accordance with Sec.  3110.3-2 of this 

title.
