New Mexico: Proposed Reinstatement of Terminated Oil and Gas 
Lease

    Under the provisions of Public Law 97-451, a petition for 
reinstatement of oil and gas lease NMNM 96062 for lands in Lea County, 
New Mexico, was timely filed and was accompanied by all required 
rentals and royalties accruing from December 1, 1998, the date of 
termination.
    No valid lease has been issued affecting the lands. The lessee has 
agreed to new lease terms for rentals and royalties at rates of $10.00 
per acre or fraction thereof and 16-2/3 percent, respectively. The 
lessee has paid the required $500 administrative fee and has reimbursed 
the Bureau of Land Management for the cost of this Federal Register 
notice.
    The Lessee has met all the requirements for reinstatement of the 
lease as set out in Sections 31(d) and (e) of the Mineral Leasing Act 
of 1920 (30 USC 188), and the Bureau of Land Management is proposing to 
reinstate the lease effective December 1, 1998, subject to the original 
terms and conditions of the lease and the increased rental and royalty 
rates cited above.
