    Under the provisions of Public Law 97-451, a petition for reinstatement of oil and gas lease CAS 019272B for lands in Kern County, California, was timely filed and was accompanied by all the required rentals and royalties accruing from November 1, 2000, the date of termination.    No valid lease has been issued affecting the lands. The lessee has agreed to amend lease terms for rentals and royalties at the rate of $5.00 per acre, or fraction thereof, per year and 16\2/3\ percent, respectively. The lessee has paid the required $500 administrative fee and $125 to reimburse the Department for the cost of this Federal Register notice.
