    31. Oil shall not be sold to a pipe-line company until division order is filed as hereinbefore provided. Should the lessee desire to sell oil or remove it from the leased premises in any other manner, such sale or removal shall not be made until authorized by the officer in charge. Lessee or his representative shall actually be present when oil taken under division orders is run by pipe-line com- panies, and lessee shall be responsible for the correct measurement and report of oil so run; otherwise the approval of division order may be revoked. LAND FROM WHICH RESTRICTIONS HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE REMOVED 32. All leases of any description whatever executed by an allottee on land from all of which the restrictions against alienation had been removed before such execution may be executed without any provision for reference to or supervision by the Secretary of the Interior or any official of the Department of the Interior; and the officer in charge shall refuse to accept for consideration any lease covering land from all of which restrictions had been removed before such execution. 33. All leases executed before the removal of restrictions against alienation on land from all of which restrictions against alienation provision for approval by the Secretary of the Interior, whether now filed with the department or presented for consideration hereafter, will be considered and acted upon by this department as heretofore. 34. Oil and gas leases heretofore approved and leases for other minerals now or hereafter in force on land from all of which re- strictions against alienation have been or shall be removed, even if such leases contain provisions authorizing supervision by this de- partment, shall, after such removal of restrictions against alienation, be operated entirely free from such supervision, and the authority and power delegated to the Secretary of the Interior in said leases shall cease, and all payments required to be made to the officer in charge shall thereafter be made to lessor or the then owner of said land; and changes in regulations thereafter made by the Secretary of the Interior applicable to oil and gas leases shall not apply to such leased land from which said restrictions are removed. In the event restrictions are removed from a part of the land included in any lease to which this section applies the entire lease shall continue subject to the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior, and all royalties thereunder shail be paid to the officer in charge until such time as the lessor and lessee shall furnish the Secretary of the Interior satisfactory information that adequate arrangements have been made to account for the oil, gas, or mineral upon the restricted land separately from that upon the unrestricted. Thereafter the restricted land only shall be subject to the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior, provided that the unrestricted por- tion shall be relieved from such supervision as in the lease or regula- tions provided. 35. All oil and gas leases hereafter executed shall contain the fol- lowing relinquishment of supervision clause and terms operative after such relinquishment:
