  - (1) A description of all anticipated structures, facilities, wells, and pipelines including their size, location, function, and associated surface disturbance;
  - (2) A description of the utilization process;
  - (3) A description and analysis of anticipated reservoir production, injection, and characteristics to the extent required by BLM; and
  - (4) Any additional information or data that we may require.
- (c) Submit with your application the nonrefundable processing fee for noncompetitive lease applications found in the fee schedule in [§ 3000.12](/cfr/43/3000.12.md) of this chapter for each direct use lease application.
