SUMMARY: Under the provisions of section 371(a) of the Energy Policy 
Act of 2005, the lessee(s), Culbertson Management Trust, Dan W. Irwin, 
and Kathleen Irwin Schuster, timely filed a petition for reinstatement 
of oil and gas lease NMNM 13277 in Lea County, NM. The lessees paid the 
required rental accruing from the date of termination, June 1, 2002.
    No leases were issued that affect these lands. The lessee agrees to 
the new lease terms for rentals and royalties of ($25 per acre) and 
24\2/3\ percent rate. The lessees paid the $500 administration fee for 
the reinstatement of the lease and $158 cost for publishing this 
Notice.
    The lessees met the requirements for reinstatement of the lease per 
Sec. 31(e) of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 188(e)). We 
are proposing to reinstate the lease, effective the date of termination 
subject to:
     The original terms and conditions of the lease;
     The increased rental of ($25) per acre;
     The increased royalty of 24\2/3\ percent or 4 percentages 
above the existing competitive royalty rate; and
     The $158 cost of publishing this Notice.
