# §3173.22. Requirements for off-lease measurement.


The BLM will consider granting a request for off-lease measurement if the request:

- (a) Involves only production from a single lease, unit PA, CA, or CAA;
- (b) Provides for accurate production accountability;
- (c) Is in the public interest (considering factors such as BMPs, topographic and environmental conditions that make on-lease measurement physically impractical, and maximum ultimate economic recovery); and
- (d) **Occurs at an approved FMP.** A request for approval of an FMP (see [§ 3173.12](/cfr/43/3173.12.md)) may be filed concurrently with the request for off-lease measurement.
