SUMMARY: As authorized in the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended, 
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) received a petition for 
reinstatement of competitive oil and gas lease COC73427 from Extraction 
Oil & Gas, LLC and OOGC America Inc., for land in Weld County, 
Colorado. The lessees filed the petition on time, along with all 
rentals due since the lease terminated. No leases that affect these 
lands were issued prior to receiving the petition. The BLM proposes to 
reinstate this lease.

the lease automatically terminated for untimely payment of rent. The 
lessees agree to the new lease terms for rentals and royalties of $10 
per acre, or fraction thereof, per year, and 16\2/3\ percent, 
respectively. The lessees paid the required $500 administrative fee for 
lease reinstatement and the $151 cost of publishing this notice. The 
lessees met the requirements for reinstatement of the lease per Sec. 
31(d) and (e) of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 188). The 
BLM considered the impacts of reinstatement of the lease in 
Environmental Assessment DOI-BLM-CO-F020-2017-0041-EA and issued a 
Finding of No Significant Impact. The BLM proposes to reinstate the 
lease effective December 1, 2014, under amended lease terms and the 
increased rental and royalty rates described above.
