# §3514.30. May BLM cancel my lease?

- (a) **Yes.** BLM may institute appropriate proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to cancel your lease if:
  - (1) You do not comply with the provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act, other relevant statutes, or regulations applicable to your lease; or
  - (2) You default on any of the lease terms, covenants or stipulations and continue to fail or default for 30 days after BLM notifies you in writing of your default.
- (b) BLM may cancel your lease administratively if we issued it in violation of any law or regulation. In such a case, we may consider issuing an amended lease, if appropriate.
