# §550.1451. What may BOEM do if I violate a statute, regulation, order, or lease term relating to a Federal oil and gas lease?

- (a) If we believe that you have not followed any requirement of a statute, regulation, order, or lease term for any Federal oil or gas lease, we may send you a Notice of Noncompliance informing you what the violation is and what you need to do to correct it to avoid civil penalties under 30 U.S.C. [1719(a)](/usc/30/1719.md?p=a) and [(b)](/usc/30/1719.md?p=b).
- (b) We will serve the Notice of Noncompliance by registered mail or personal service using the most current address on file as maintained by the BOEM Leasing Office in your respective Region.
