the lessees of record of not less than 62.5 percent of the unit area affected thereby
and by the owners of record or not less than 62.5 percent (exclusive of royalty interests
owned by lessees or by subsidiaries of any lessee) of the normal one-eighth landowners'
royalty interest in and to the unit area; and (b) The Division has made a finding either in the order creating the unit or in a
supplemental order that the plan of unitization has been so signed, ratified or approved
by lessees and royalty owners owning the required percentage interest in and to the
unit area. 2. Where the plan of unitization has not been so signed, ratified or approved by the
lessees and royalty owners owning the required percentage interest in and to the unit

required to determine if and when the plan of unitization has been so signed, ratified
or approved by lessees and royalty owners owning the required percentage interest
in and to the unit area and shall, in respect to the hearing, make and enter a finding
of its determination in that regard. If lessees and royalty owners, or either, owning the required percentage interest
in and to the unit area have not so signed, ratified or approved the plan of unitization
within a period of 6 months after the date on which the order creating the unit is
made, the order creating the unit ceases to be of further effect and must be revoked
by the Division.
