Abstract: Regulations at 30 CFR 243 allow lessees, designees, or payors who can demonstrate that they are financially solvent to stay the effectiveness of an MMS order or decision without posting a surety instrument (Federal leases only). For those who are not financially solvent or for appeals involving Indian leases, MMS requires that a surety instrument be posted to secure the financial interests of the public and Indian lessors during the entire administrative or judicial appeal process.
