If BLM requests additional information, you have 30 days from when you receive the request to submit the information. Another person may act on your behalf to file an offer to lease. The person acting for you must be qualified to hold a lease under 43 CFR 3202.10, and must do the following: (a) Sign the document; (b) State his or her title; (c) Identify you as the person he or she is acting for; and (d) Provide written proof of his or her qualifications and authority to take such action, if BLM requests it. If the offeror dies before the lease is issued, BLM will issue the lease to either the administrator or executor of the estate or the heirs. If the heirs are minors, BLM will issue the lease to either a legal guardian or trustee, provided that the legal guardian or trustee is qualified to hold a lease under 43 CFR 3202.10.
