By completing this form, I certify that the undersigned, or the principal party whom the undersigned is acting on behalf of, is in compliance with the applicable regulations and leasing authorities governing a bid and subsequent lease, including the qualification requirements at 30 U.S.C. 181, and 43 CFR subpart 3102.
If a bid is declared the high bid, the undersigned or the principal party will pay to the Bureau of Land Management by the close of official business hours on the day of the auction, or such other time as may be specified by the authorized officer, an amount at least equal to minimum monies owed the day of the sale for that bid, as set out in applicable regulations. The undersigned or the principal party acknowledge that these monies are due to the Bureau of Land Management, whether or not a lease is subsequently issued as a result of the winning bid. I understand that if payment is not received by the due date and time, the bid is rejected and the Bureau of Land Management will issue a bill for monies owed. Further, I understand that if payment is not received by the bill due date, the Bureau of Land Management will pursue collection by all appropriate methods, and will assess appropriate late fees, civil penalties, interest, administrative charges and penalties on past due amounts. (See, e.g., Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966, as amended; Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996; 31 CFR 285.)
