| | IM 2000-015, Errors or Omissions in Future Interest Noncompetitive Oil and Gas Lease Applications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | A future interest lease application, however, is not the document that becomes the lease, and, if there are minor errors or omissions in the legal description on the application, no "cure" or "correction" is necessary on the form which becomes the lease. |
 | | Though the future interest oil and gas regulations were modified in subsequent years, the requirements established in the 1954 regulations concerning evidence of present operating rights were carried forward in much the same form until enactment of the Reform Act. |
 | | A future interest lease offeror's intent thus can be discerned despite minor errors or omissions in the legal description on the application, if the additional documentation he is required to submit as part of the offer contains an accurate legal description that is not significantly different from the description on the application. |
