    Under the provisions of Public Law 97-451, a petition for 
reinstatement of oil and gas lease MSES 50961, Scott County, 
Mississippi, was timely filed and accompanied by all required rentals 
and royalties from the date of termination.
    No valid lease has been issued affecting the lands. The lessee has 
agreed to new lease terms for rentals and royalties at rates of $10 per
