amended lease terms for rentals of $10
per acre, or fraction thereof, per year
and royalty rates of 16 2⁄3 percent, and
additional lease stipulations. The
lessees have paid the required $500
administrative fee and the $151 cost of

the requirements for reinstatement of
the leases per Sec. 31(d) and (e) of the

conforms to the terms and conditions of

Policy Act documents. The BLM

effective date of November 1, 2018,
under the amended terms and
