### sec.114 Adjustments for blocks or sub-blocks that can not be counted
This section applies if, after taking away all blocks or sub-blocks that, under section 113 , can not be counted for the relinquishment condition, the balance of the blocks of the geothermal permit’s area is less than the blocks or sub-blocks required to be relinquished under section 111 .
The relinquishment condition is taken to have been complied with if the geothermal permit holder gives a relinquishment notice for all of the balance.

a block or sub-block not counted for the relinquishment condition was the subject of a geothermal lease application or potential geothermal commercial area; and
the application is refused.
The geothermal permit holder must, within 20 business days after the appeal period for the decision to refuse, give a relinquishment notice to the extent necessary to comply with section 111 .
