Wyoming: Notice of Proposed Reinstatement of Terminated Oil and 
Gas Lease WYW144810

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Reinstatement of Terminated Oil and Gas 
Lease.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 371(a) of the Energy Policy Act of 
2005, the lessees: Carpenter and Sons, Inc.; Goolsby and Associates, 
LLC; North Finn, LLC; Tika Energy Inc.; and American Oil and Gas, Inc. 
timely filed a petition for reinstatement of noncompetitive oil and gas 
lease WYW144810 in Johnson County, Wyoming. The lessees paid the 
required rental accruing from the date of termination, April 1, 2002.
    No leases were issued that affect these lands. The lessees have 
agreed to the new lease terms for rentals of $5.00 per acre and 
royalties of 16\2/3\ percent or 4 percentages above the existing 
noncompetitive royalty rates. The lessees have paid the required $500 
administrative fee for the reinstatement of the lease and $166 cost for 
publishing this Notice.
    The lessees have met all 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 $5.00 per acre; and
     The increased royalty of 16\2/3\ percent or 4 percentages 
above the existing noncompetitive royalty rates.
