Sec. 3137.112  What happens if I am prevented from performing actual or constructive 
drilling or reworking operations?

    (a) If you demonstrate to BLM that reasons beyond your control 
prevent you, despite reasonable diligence, from starting actual or 
constructive drilling, reworking, or completing operations, BLM will 
extend all committed NPR-A leases as if you were performing constructive 
or actual drilling or reworking operations. You are limited to two 
extensions under this section.
    (b) You must resume actual or constructive drilling or reworking 
operations when conditions permit. If you do not resume operations--
    (1) BLM will cancel the extension; and
    (2) The unit terminates (see Sec. 3137.131 of this subpart).
