               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.
