SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Termination of a lease is automatic and
statutorily imposed by Congress when
rental fees are not paid in a timely
manner. Lease reinstatement terms are
also set by Congress. Oil and gas lease
WYW–178369 in Sweetwater County,
Wyoming, was terminated by operation
of law effective December 1, 2016, for
failure to pay rental timely. The lessee
of record petitioned for reinstatement of
the lease and met all filing requirements
for a Class II reinstatement.
The lessee agreed to the amended
lease terms for rentals of $10 per acre,
or fraction thereof, per year and royalty
rates of 162⁄3 percent. The lessee paid
the required $500 administrative fee and
the $159 cost of publishing this notice.
The lessee meets the requirements for
reinstatement of the leases per Sec.
31(d) and (e) of the Mineral Leasing Act
of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 188). Reinstatement
of these leases conforms to the terms
and conditions of all applicable land
use plans, including the 2015 Approved
Resource Management Plan
Amendments for the Rocky Mountain
Region, and other applicable National
Environmental Policy Act documents.
The BLM proposes to reinstate the
lease effective December 1, 2016, under
the amended terms and conditions of
the lease and the increased rental and
royalty rates cited above. The lease will
be reinstated 30 days after publication
of this proposed reinstatement notice in
the Federal Register.
