# §3135.7. What effect does a suspension of operations and production have on the term of my lease?

- (a) **Primary term.** If BLM grants a suspension of operations and production for your lease, the suspension stops the running of the primary term of your lease for the period of the suspension.
- (b) **Extended term.** If your lease is in its extended term, a suspension holds your lease in its extended term for the period of the suspension as if it were in production.
