### sec.74E Adjustments for sub-blocks that can not be counted
This section applies for a relinquishment day if, after taking away all sub-blocks that, under section 74D , can not be counted for the relinquishment condition, the balance of the sub-blocks of the authority to prospect are less than the sub-blocks required to be relinquished under the usual relinquishment.
The relinquishment condition is taken to have been complied with if the authority holder gives a relinquishment notice for all of the balance.
However, if—
a sub-block not counted for the relinquishment condition was the subject of a lease application; and
the result of the application is that it is refused;
the authority holder must, within 20 business days after the appeal period for the decision to refuse, give a relinquishment notice for that sub-block.
