lands in Eddy County, New Mexico. The petition was filed on time and 
was accompanied by all the rentals due since the date the leases 
terminated under the law.

percent, respectively. The lessee paid the required $500 administrative 
fee for the reinstatement of the leases and $166 cost for publishing

requirements for reinstatement of the leases as set out in Section 
31(d) and (e) of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 188). We

terms and conditions of the lease and the increased rental and royalty 
rates cited above.
