BLM PROPOSES NEW
BLANKET OIL AND
GAS LEASE BOND
To simplify the administration of
oil and gas leases on public and
acquired lands, the Bureau of Land
Management is proposing a new
blanket oil and gas lease bond
form, Secretary of the Interior
Oscar L. Chapman, has announced.
Details of the proposed form will
be published in the Federal Regis
ter with 30 day’s time allowed for
interested persons to submit com
ments, objections and suggestions.
The use of the form would be
optional. It is an alternative to the
present involved procedure which
calls for a separate bond on each
oil and gas lease.
Director Marion Clawson of the
Bureau of Land Management said
use of the form would considerably
lessen the amount of paper work
and record keeping now required
of the principals, the sureties and
the Government.
The blanket bond would cover all
of the principal's leases or operating
rights under the Mineral Leasing
Act, the Mineral Leasing Act for
Acquired Lands, or both, in the
states ior which the bond is submit
ted. The amount of coverage would
vary according to the Acts and
states covered.
Widespread use of the voluntary
form woujd eliminate the need
for approval of a separate bond be
fore drilling may commence on a
lease. It would not, however, elim
inate control of drill sites and drill
ing by the Geological Survey.
