As a matter of administration and without affecting property rights in oil and gas leases, whenever more than two persons or legal entities apply for the issuance of an oil and gas lease, the commissioner shall grant the lease in the names of no more than two persons acting as attorneys-in-fact for all potential interest owners. In the case of a trust, the trust must be express and a copy of the creating document filed with the commissioner.

The limitations in this rule may be waived by the commissioner for good cause.
