# §585.635. What must I do if I cease activities approved in my COP before the end of my commercial lease?


You must notify BSEE, within 5 business days, any time you cease commercial operations, without an approved suspension, under your approved COP. If you cease commercial operations for an indefinite period, which extends longer than 6 months, we may cancel your lease under [§ 585.422](/cfr/30/585.422.md) and you must initiate the decommissioning process as set forth in [30 CFR part 285](/cfr/30/part285.md), subpart I.
