## Abstract

This rule amends the unitization regulations by removing the two model unit agreements--one for exploration, development, and production units and the other for development and production units. The model agreements will be available from the Regional Supervisor. The rule is written in ``plain English.'' We take this action to support the President's initiative to reform Government regulations. Our objective is to shorten the regulation and clarify the wording.
