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 proposes to reinstate the lease effective February 1, 2013, under amended lease terms and the increased rental and royalty rates described above.
