Lease

    Under the provisions of Public Law 97-451, a petition for 
reinstatement of oil and gas lease NMNM 101077 for lands in Eddy 
County, New Mexico, was timely filed and was accompanied by all 
required rentals and royalties accruing from September 1, 1999, the 
date of termination.

[[Page 3733]]

    No valid lease has been issued affecting the lands. The lessee has 
agreed to new lease terms for rentals and royalties at rates of $10.00 
per acre or fraction thereof and 16\2/3\ percent, respectively. The 
lessee has paid the required $500 administrative fee and has reimbursed 
the Bureau of Land Management for the cost of this Federal Register 
notice. The Lessee has met all the requirements for reinstatement of 
the lease as set out in Sections 31(d) and (e) of the Mineral Leasing 
Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 188), and the Bureau of Land Management is 
proposing to reinstate the lease effective September 1, 1999, subject 
to the original terms and conditions of the lease and the increased 
rental and royalty rates cited above.
