the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) received a petition for 
reinstatement of competitive oil and gas lease COC76814 from Williams 
Fork Land Company for land in Moffat County, Colorado. The lessee 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.

agrees 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 lessee paid the required $500 administrative fee for lease 
reinstatement and the $151 cost of publishing this notice. The lessee 
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

Significant Impact. The BLM proposes to reinstate the lease effective 
April 1, 2016, under amended lease terms and the increased rental and 
royalty rates described above.
