PALMER IBLA 86-15 10 Decided January 11, 1988 Appeal from a decision of the New Mexico State Office, Bureau of Land Management, rejecting oil and gas lease application NM 66710. Affirmed. 1. Oil and Gas Leases: Applications: Drawings BLM may properly reject a simultaneous oil and gas lease application where the applicant failed to disclose that he received the assistance of any person or entity in the business of providing assistance to participants in the Federal simultaneous oil and gas leasing program. APPEARANCES: W. C. Palmer, pro se. OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE MULLEN W. C. Palmer has appealed from a decision of the New Mexico State Office, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), dated July 2, 1986, rejecting his noncompetitive application to lease for oil and gas. Palmer's application for parcel 283 had been selected with first priority for the April 1986 simultaneous oil and gas filings. On May 23, 1986, BLM requested further information regarding the nature of Palmer's relationship with Max Wilson, Inc. (Wilson), of Roswell, New Mexico. Palmer responded that he did not have any contractual relationship or service agreement with Wilson but had merely purchased a list of tracts being offered for lease for a fee of $40. BLM then issued its July 2, 1986, decision rejecting his application for noncompliance with 43 CFR 3112.2-4 and 43 CFR 3112.0-5, stating: You did not indicate on your application that Max Wilson, Inc., provided you with filing assistance. Enclosed, find copy of check No. 1096 in the amount of $2,665.00, submitted to BLM from Max Wilson, Inc., for the April filings and rentals, on your behalf. The filing of this check constitutes assistance to the participant (you). In his statement of reasons for appeal Palmer objects to the BLM decision, stating that he had merely purchased a list of recommendations from Wilson for a nonrefundable fee of $40 with no other charges being made by 100 IBLA 349
