SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) received a petition for 
reinstatement from Makoil, Inc. and Piney Fork Production Co., for 
competitive oil and gas leases NVN-78597, NVN-85277, and NVN-85278 on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lessees have agreed to the amended lease 
terms for rental and royalties at rates of $10 per acre or fraction 
thereof per year and 16\2/3\ percent, respectively. The lessees have 
paid the required $500 administrative fee for each lease and have 
reimbursed the Department for the cost of this Federal Register notice.

leases to any other interest in the interim.
