§ 3510.11 — If I Already Have A Federal Lease, Or The Mineral Rights On Adjacent Private Lands, May I Lease Adjoining Federal Lands That Contain The Same Deposits Without Competitive Bidding?

43 C.F.R. § 3510.11

View:

Yes. If the adjoining Federal lands are available for leasing, you may lease them noncompetitively, even if they are known to contain a deposit of the mineral you are interested in leasing. We will either issue a new lease for these lands (fringe acreage) or add the lands to your existing Federal lease (modification).
