Sworn reports of gas wells shall be made both when discovered and when utilized. STIPULATIONS 25. The lessee under any lease heretofore approved may, by stip- ulation, with the consent of the lessor and the approval of the Sec- retary of the Interior, make such approved lease subject to all the terms, conditions, and provisions contained in these regulations and in the lease form authorized and adopted in pursuance thereof. Form 5-154I shall be used for this purpose. | ASSIGNMENTS 26. (a) Leases hereafter approved, or any interest therein, may be assigned or transferred only with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, and to procure such approval the assignee must be qualified to hold such lease under existing rules and regulations, and shall furnish a satisfactory bond for the faithful performance of the covenants and conditions thereof. (6) No lease or any interest therein or the use of such lease shall be assigned, sublet, or transferred, directly or indirectly, by working or drilling contract, or otherwise, without the consent of the Sec- retary of the Interior. (c) Assignments of leases and stipulations modifying the terms of existing leases shall be filed with the officer in charge within 30 days after the date of execution. CANCELLATIONS 27. A lease will be canceled by the Secretary of the Interior for good cause upon application of the lessor or lessee, or if at any time the Secretary is satisfied that the provisions of the lease or of any regulations heretofore or hereafter prescribed have been violated. When the lessee applies for cancellation he must, before the same will be considered, pay a surrender fee of $1 and all royalties and rents due to the date of completion of such application, surrender all parts of the lease actually delivered to him, and furnish a duly recorded release of the acreage covered by the application if the lease thereon has been recorded: Provided, That where the appli- cation is made by an assignee to whom no copy of the lease was delivered he will be required to surrender only his copy of the assignment. If the lease is owned in undivided interests by more than one per- gon, firm, or corporation all shall join in the application for can- cellation. . All required fees and papers must be at least in the mail on or before the date upon which rents and royalties become due in order for the lessee and his surety to be relieved from liability for the payment thereof.
